The Influence of Environmental Education in a Core Education Course

• In Event: Research Poster Session

Session Submission Type: Research Poster

Summary

Although reform efforts call for increased environmental education (EE) experiences in K-12 schools, preservice teachers often receive little EE training. In this presentation, we describe an innovative EE-based intervention within a classroom management course and its influence on participants. Findings include significant increases in EE teaching efficacy and outcome expectancy.
