Environmental
Issues Instuction: It Does Make a Difference
Carroll
Today. Vol. 17 Issue 38. Sept. 22, 2000
Above:
Students from eii classes share with the community.
Results of Student Inventories:
T-SCORES
Forests
in a Changing Climate (2003) T-Scores
Click
here for graph.
The
Forests sample shows a comparison of groups of 47 and 42 sixth grade
students. One group, taught by two teachers, had the entire eii
unit and the other group, taught by two other teachers in the same
school, had some environmental activities, but not the eii
unit.
Biomes
in a Changing Climate (2002) T-Scores
Click
here for graph.
The
Biomes sample is upper elementary from a Dubuque workshop. Many
of the content items are not shown because they always have a very
high level of increase from pre to
post intruction. Data shows that kids believe they do understand
environmental issues and can, and do, make a difference.
Species
in a Changing Climate (2001) T-Scores
Click
here for graph.
Species
Loss item 2 is an example of a -1.96+ significance. Item 5 is interesting
in that students thought environmental issues were difficult before
the unit because they did not know about them. After the unit, they
realized that environmental issues are difficult even when
you know a lot about them. The Species Loss sample includes 450
students from middle through high school.
Results of Teaching Skill Inventories:
T-SCORES
Iowa's Roadside Prairies (2007) T-scores
This is a graph of the T-scores from the Teaching Skill Inventories taken during both the Dubuque and West Des Moines workshops. The T-score is the amount of change between the pre and post inventory. A change of 1.96 or higher is significant. As you can see, a large improvement was made on each item.
