Abstract
The article introduces a Czech environmental education middle school program focused on helping students develop place attachment to their community and on increasing their interest in natural area in their region. The evaluation applied a mixed approach combining pretesting/posttesting of the students (N = 158), two group interviews with selected students (N = 16), an interview with teachers (N = 2), field observations, and ongoing interviews with the main program leader. Although the evaluation did not find an effect of the program on the attractiveness of the natural area, the program appeared to increase community place attachment of the participants to their own community.
Abstract (in Czech)
Článek představuje český program environmentální výchovy určený pro žáky základní školy a cílený na posílení jejich vztahu k místu a zájmu o přírodní lokalitu v jejich regionu. Evaluace aplikovala smíšený design kombinující pretest/ posttest (N=158), dva skupinové rozhovory s žáky (N=16) a dva s učiteli (N=2), terénní pozorování a průběžné rozhovory s hlavním lektorem. Ačkoliv evaluace neprokázala efekt programu na atraktivnost přírodní oblasti, program posílil vztah žáků k jejich komunitě.
