Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? All teacher candidates in both groups planned to integrate environmental education into their teaching, but control-group participants superficially mentioned methods while experimental-group participants described student-centered methods, visual materials, and activities such as field trips, tree plantations, walks in nature and observing birds. → Derman et al. 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Content analysis of answers to the third open-ended EEAES question. The article reports control participants "superficially mentioned which teaching methods they would use", whereas experimental participants said they would use student-centered methods and activities such as "field trips, tree plantations, walk in nature, observing the birds".
"All the teacher candidates in the experimental and the control group are planning to integrate the environmental education into their teachings when they become teachers."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The experimental group reported richer and more frequent outcomes from the environmental education course than the control group — related
- Experimental-group participants named far more varied environmental issues and gave more detailed answers than control-group participants — related
- Most experimental-group pre-service teachers viewed the project-based HNOS course positively and recommended carrying it out through project activities — related
- An outdoor education program produced higher post-test environmental attitudes, uses and concern than traditional lecturing among pre-service classroom teachers — a broader claim this one bears on
