Measuring Program Success in the Field
One of the biggest hopes for participants in environmental education (EE) programs is that, afterward, they undertake actions that are aligned with sustainability goals, in both the short and long term. Yet, it can be difficult to measure the long-term impact of environmental programs on environmentally related attitudes, identity, and, especially, behavior. Because of this, scholars have identified indicators, or intermediary outcomes, that have been correlated with longer term outcomes, such as environmental behavior change.
