Environmental Education in University Schools: A Study in a Logistics Faculty
Charatsari, Chrysanthi; Lioutas, Evagelos D.
Applied Environmental Education and Communication, v17 n2 p124-135 2018
In this study we examine whether Environmental Education (EE) can increase the discipline-specific environmental knowledge of students in a logistics faculty. We also investigate the degree to which logistics students are willing to attend EE classes. Results show that participation in a short EE course supplied students with higher levels of environmental knowledge and a more holistic understanding of the environment, while it also increased their intent to take EE courses. These findings underscore the positive impacts of EE in higher education and suggest that introduction of EE in educational curricula can facilitate the development of environmental thinking among students.
