随着重新将儿童与自然联系起来的运动越来越多，需要了解环境教育(EE)计划培养与自然联系的能力。这项探索性定量研究的目的是确定七个EE项目对参与者与自然的连接性的影响。参与这项研究的385名儿童的研究结果表明，其中两个项目可能与显著增加与自然的联系有关；然而，由于研究的局限性以及初始联系水平较高的潜在“天花板效应”，还需要进一步研究。
With a growing movement to re-connect children to nature, an understanding of the ability of environmental education (EE) programs to foster connectedness to nature is needed. The purpose of this exploratory quantitative study is to determine the effect of seven EE programs on participants' connectedness to nature. Results from the 385 children who participated in this study suggest two of the programs may be associated with a significant increase in connectedness to nature; however, due to the limitations of the study and a potential 'ceiling effect' of high initial levels of connectedness, further research is needed.
