Climate Change Course Impacts on the Individual, Their Future, and Interactions with Others
Yanascavage, Christina
Applied Environmental Education and Communication, v11 n3-4 p133-147 2012
This report explores the impacts a university climate change course has on those enrolled in the course. The research quantitatively measures and compares opinions, attitudes, and knowledge among groups, then qualitatively explores the responses of the group to identify course impacts. The results show reasons people enroll in the course, how they have or will change their behaviors, how they communicate with others about the topic, identifies a range of open response categories, and how they apply the knowledge and solutions outside of the course. Tables display detailed responses. Conducting more research and analysis can expand this area of research. (Contains 9 tables and 2 figures.)
