Method Boundness among Zoo and Park Educators.
Heimlich, Joe E.; Meyers, Ronald B.
Environmental Education Research, v5 n1 p67-75 Feb 1998
A national survey of 131 park and zoo educators' teaching beliefs was conducted in 14 parks and zoos in the United States in 1996. The Van Tilburg/Heimlich Teaching Beliefs Scale and a self-report time on task and importance of task were used. Outcomes showed that a preponderance of respondents would self-identify their beliefs to be "Enabler"--low control, high inclusion. (SJR)
