Abstract

Background/Purpose: Organized events with environmental and outdoor education (EOE) components have the potential to change participant environmental behaviors. This study further investigates emergent outcomes, meanings, and effect on behavior that an organized, community-based, multigenerational river canoeing and kayaking event may have for its participants and considers these intersections of pro-environmental behavior, sense of place, and multigenerational community involvement. Methodology/Approach: Research participants experienced a multi-day canoeing and kayaking event and were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews (n = 13). Participants ranged from teen-age to older adults. This research uses a qualitative methodology and a data collection procedure which employs semi-structured interviews conducted on the water, in-situ, during the program. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. Findings: Emergent themes and sub-themes including experiential learning's effect on knowledge acquisition, changes in attitude and environmental behavior, the value of rivers, and sense of place and socio-cultural outcomes related to such EOE programs. Implications: These results support experientially based EOE programs effectiveness for the continued development of pro-environmental behavior in the citizenry. This research aims to add to the current EOE literature on diverse and inclusive socially supported, community engagement EOE programs through a diverse sample (i.e., age, gender, race/ethnicity, etc.).

通过多日独木舟和皮划艇体验培养亲环境行为和环境宣传能力

背景/目的：包含环境和户外教育（EOE）内容的有组织活动有可能改变参与者的环境行为。本研究进一步调查了有组织的、基于社区的、多代人共同参与的划独木舟和皮划艇活动可能对参与者的行为产生的结果、意义和影响，并考虑了亲环境行为、地方感和多代人社区参与的交叉点。方法/途径：研究参与者体验了为期多天的划独木舟和皮划艇活动，并应邀参加了半结构化访谈（n = 13）。参与者从青少年到老年人不等。本研究采用定性方法和数据收集程序，即在活动期间在水上现场进行半结构化访谈。对访谈进行了录音和誊写。调查结果：新出现的主题和次主题包括体验式学习对知识获取的影响、态度和环境行为的改变、河流的价值、地方感以及与此类 EOE 计划相关的社会文化成果。影响：这些结果支持以体验为基础的 EOE 计划对持续发展公民的亲环境行为的有效性。本研究旨在通过不同的样本（即年龄、性别、种族/民族等），为当前关于多样化和包容性的社会支持、社区参与 EOE 计划的 EOE 文献添砖加瓦。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
