Abstract

Abstract This study was aimed at connecting undergraduate students to nature and later involving them in scientific argumentation as an effort to improve environmental education. The objective was to investigate the effect of this involvement in addressing students’ environmental knowledge (EK) and environmental attitude (EA). Two pre-existing sections of Bio-sciences students were taken as study sample, with one section randomly assigned to an experimental (N = 42) and the other to a control group (N = 32). The qualitative part included observation of environmental problems and delivering of presentation using scientific argumentation in the experimental group. The quantitative approach covered the measurement of environmental knowledge and environmental attitude through two tests in both the groups. The findings revealed significant positive correlation between environmental knowledge and environmental attitude (r = 0.785, p

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
