Book Description
This study examined changes in environmental literacy of six classes of first and second grade students (N=120) from four school districts participating in the “Let’s Sprout” program at the State Arboretum of Virginia at Blandy Experimental Farm. The study also examined the usefulness of the evaluation instruments developed by the researcher. There were significant but small increases in content-based knowledge scores and attitude scores for participating students. Community setting and timing of the program had significant effects on scores, but pretesting did not. The study provided an evaluation process applicable to other nonformal programs for young children.

Book Description
ABSTRACT: Environmental education is an important tool for providing knowledge, supporting positive attitudes toward nature, and building skills to protect and improve the environment. Because of limited funding sources and increasing environmental challenges, it is important to provide effective environmental education programs. Program evaluation is one strategy to engage stakeholders and increase program effectiveness. An evaluation of a fourth grade environmental education program, Lagoon Quest developed by Brevard Zoo, provides an unique opportunity to answer several questions about implementing an effective environmental education program. The first question is about the effectiveness of Lagoon Quest. Evaluation data are reported in a case study that provides details about the development of the evaluation questions and evaluation instruments. The pre/posttest comparison suggests that participating in Lagoon Quest effectively increases students' knowledge of Indian River Lagoon (mean increase = 5.03, p
