Impact of Some Environmental Education Outdoor Activities on Nigerian Primary School Pupils’ Environmental Knowledge

Impact of Some Environmental Education Outdoor Activities on Nigerian Primary School Pupils’... This study investigated the impact of outdoor educational activities on pupils’ knowledge of some environmental issues and problems. A pretest, posttest, control group, quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study. Four hundred and eighty primary 5 pupils from 12 randomly selected primary schools in Ibadan, Nigeria, constituted the subjects for the study. The instrument used was an Environmental Knowledge Test (r= 0.86). Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts, means and standard deviation, and inferential statistics of ANCOVA. Treatment had significant main effect on pupils’ environmental knowledge (F(1,471)= 137.37; p< .05). Pupils exposed to outdoor educational activities with discussion performed better in knowledge ( X = 19.59; SD = 1.78). Outdoor educational activities with discussion proved more effective at improving pupils’ knowledge of environmental issues and problems. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Environmental Education & Communication Taylor & Francis
