An Innovative Environmental Science Education Program for Secondary School Science Teachers.
McKenna, Harold James, Jr.
The investigator, after surveying 70 leading teaching institutions throughout the United States and concluding that there were no environmental science education programs that were both inter- and intra-disciplinary in approach to preparing teachers to teach environmental education at the secondary level, developed such a program. Using a course in Human Ecology as a working model of the program, instruments were developed to determine: (1) the extent to which student involvement in various activities could be determined as a result of having taken the course, (2) student use of identified teaching methods, and (3) acquisition of basic concepts in environmental science eduaation. The results of the evaluation showed that nine activities were identified as having a marked increase as a result of the course taken. Four of these showed the greatest increase of involvement by students. These were: regular attendance at environmental education meetings, reading, taking personal action on the community level, and developing new courses, clubs and curricula. (Author/EB)
