The methods and findings from a program evaluation of a forestry field visit for second grade students are detailed in this article. A pretest, posttest methodology was used to determine changes in students' (n = 133) attitudes and knowledge before and after the field experience(s). Interviews and surveys were conducted with students, teachers (n = 7), and staff (n = 13) to provide context for the test data. The most revealing finding was that socioeconomic factors outweighed the visit-length, with the largest gains for both knowledge and attitudes made by students who participated for only one day but hailed from communities with less access to forestry settings at home and school. Recommendations for program development are provided. |
