Practitioner Guide to Assessing Connection to Nature by Gabby Salazar, Kristen Kunkle, and Martha Monroe (an NAAEE publication)

This user-friendly guide written for and by environmental educators summarizes 11 different tools for assessing connection to nature. It provides helpful information on the appropriate age range, data collection method, reliability and validity, etc., in addition to the specific survey questions.

The combination of clear writing, practical information, and varied assessment tools make this a very useful resource for introducing undergraduate students to environmental education research.

Instilling positive attitudes and knowledge about the environment are important components of environmental literacy. We also aim to share experiences that spark an interest and concern about the environment, promote curiosity, and motivate audiences to take action on environmental issues. In our role in higher education, we not only provide these experiences for our students, we also prepare them to lead these experiences for their future students and audiences.
