• Nature-based environmental education of children: Environmental knowledge and connectedness to nature, together, are related to ecological behaviour (2017, background): “Thus, even short-term nature-based environmental education may positively influence participants' environmental attitudes and behaviour, and it is likely that more frequent and long-term programs would ensure life lasting effects (e.g., Stern et al., 2008; Sellmann and Bogner, 2013).”
• Plants have a chance: outdoor educational programmes alter students' knowledge and attitudes towards plants (2011, background): “2004 ; Stern, Powell, and Ardoin 2008 ) that actively involve pupils may promote pro‐environmental behaviour, knowledge and positive attitudes towards the environment.”
• Development and validation of the ACSI: measuring students’ science attitudes, pro-environmental behaviour, climate change attitudes and knowledge (2012, background): “The eight items are partly designed by the authors and partly taken from the ‘Environmental Citizenship’ dimension, developed by Stern, Powell, and Ardoin ( 2008 ).”
• Experiencing nature in children's summer camps: Affective, cognitive and behavioural consequences (2013, background): “wastewater (Dresner & Gill, 1994; Stern et al., 2008) but this finding may not be general: a meta-analysis by Zelezny (1999) showed that participating in a classroom EE program was more effective in encouraging environmental behaviours than participating in EE programs outdoors (workshops, nature ca”
• Environmental education program evaluation in the new millennium: what do we measure and what have we learned? (2014, background): “For example, one study found that when school teachers on field trips actively participated in the onsite instruction alongside EE instructors, students’ outcomes were generally more positive (Stern, Powell, and Ardoin 2008).”
• Climate change education: quantitatively assessing the impact of a botanical garden as an informal learning environment (2013, background): “Consequently, Stern, Powell, and Ardoin ( 2008 ) stated that the two major aims of environmental education programmes are to enhance knowledge and ultimately to positively influence environmental behavior and attitudes towards nature.”
