The Impact of an Environmental Education Program on Knowledge and Attitude

Evaluated the impact of the environmental education program NatureScope (developed by the National Wildlife Federation) in regular classrooms where it was used as a curriculum supplement. Teachers used the materials in 48 5th- and 7th-grade classrooms for 8 wks. A pre-/posttest design produced few significant differences between groups exposed to the materials and the control groups, although exposed groups did exhibit positive attitudes.
