ES 405 - Environmental Education and Human Behavior

3 credit hours
This course uses conservation psychology as a unifying framework with which to explore how education can help humans become ecologically-minded citizens. The course includes practical training in nature interpretation. Environmental education is considered by many to be a key strategy for encouraging a sustainable society. But what are the mechanisms with which it can accomplish this? Understanding how education leads to (or hinder) change is critical to the development of environmental education programs that can better address society’s needs and lead to desired outcomes. (Cross-listed with ED 575).
