Compared to a control group, art-based EE had a positive effect on children’s eco-awareness and environmental knowledge. However, effects of the art-based EE were comparable to those observed for a conventional EE summer camp. Interactions between the treatment and demographic variables (e.g., gender, age, race/ethnicity) were minimal, suggesting that both types of EE programing worked well for different groups of youth. Results highlight the potential value of art in EE research and practice.}, number={3}, journal={The Journal of Environmental Education}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Staples, Ami Flowers and Larson, Lincoln R. and Worsley, Ti’Era and Green, Gary T. and Carroll, John P.}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={208–222} }
