“…L'efficacia dell'educazione ambientale si può misurare soltanto nel lungo periodo in quanto interviene sulla sfera culturale degli individui, che risulta essere anche quella più difficile da modificare. Per questa ragione le attività di educazione ambientale hanno effetti più immediati e duraturi se condotte con i giovani in età scolare (Farmer et al 2007). In tal senso, la Regione Calabria potrebbe puntare maggiormente su attività di educazione ambientali nelle scuole dell'obbligo attraverso una più stretta collaborazione con i centri di educazione ambientale e gli enti di ricerca e formazione universitaria presenti sul territorio.…”

Strategies for the promotion of the forest-wood chain in Calabria (southern Italy): the stakeholders' point of view. In Italy, the value of bioeconomy is 251 billion € and more than 1.7 million of workforce is employed in this sector. The forest-wood chain cover about 15% of total value of bioeconomy. The consultation draft of Italian Bioeconomy Strategy was presented on November 22, 2016. This document identifies three macro-sectors (agrifood, marine bioeconomy, forestry and biobased industry) with the respective objectives and priorities. In addition, some Italian regions are organizing to devise a regional strategy detailing the key points of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and Italian Bioeconomy Strategy in accordance with local peculiarities. In order to develop a regional strategy for the forest sector it is important to investigate the social demands and needs involving the local stakeholders. The aim of the study is to investigate the stakeholders' opinions of Calabria Region (Italy) about the priorities of forest-wood chain to include in the future regional bioeconomy strategy. The stakeholders' opinions were collected through the face-to-face administration of a structured questionnaire to 99 local stakeholders. The respondents assessed the importance of a set of objectives aimed to enhance the forest-wood chain at local level (economic exploitation of wood products; diffusion of forest certification; orientation of production to market demand; coordination of forest-wood-energy chain's actors; implementation of environmental and cultural forest values; improvement of the level of mechanization in wood processing; improvement of the efficiency of forestry workers). In addition, the respondents assessed the capacity of some specific activities to achieve the above mentioned objectives. The collected data were used to define two strategies aimed to enhance the forest-wood chain in Calabria Region. The results show that for the interviewed stakeholders the main three objectives are: the implementation of environmental and cultural forest values, the improvement of the efficiency of forestry workers, and the diffusion of forest certification. In addition, the stakeholders highlighted the importance of the activities of environmental education for the citizens and the professional training courses for the forest operators. Finally, the diffusion of forest certification is a key issue for the interviewed stakeholders. This issue can be achieved facilitating the access of the certified products to the market and creating a chain-of-custody system for the wood products.

“…Provedený výzkum na druhé straně nevypovídá o dlouhodobosti efektu. Přestože dlouhodobé dopady programů nejsou příliš často zkoumány, Farmer et al (2007) zjistil přetrvávající vliv terénního programu na proenvironmentální postoje žáků ještě rok od jeho realizace. Ověření dlouhodobých dopadů pobytového programu střediska SEVER by ale vyžadovalo další výzkumné šetření.…”

Jan ČinčeraTechnická univerzita v Liberci, Fakulta přírodovědně-humantní a pedagogická Abstrakt: Článek prezentuje průběh a výsledky evaluačního výzkumu pobytového programu střediska ekologické výchovy SEVER. V rámci evaluace bylo zkoumáno, zda program ovlivňuje postoje žáků k ochraně přírody a jejich odhodlanost k proenvironmentálnímu jednání. V rámci zkoumané množiny žáků (N = 156) byl naměřen efekt programu na obě proměnné a zjištěna jejich vzájemná korelace. V kvalitativní části výzkumu žáci nejčastěji uváděli, že se naučili lépe třídit odpady, rozšířili svoje znalosti o přírodě a posílili spolupráci ve třídě. Článek dále popisuje dva roky trvající evaluační proces, upozorňuje na problémy spojené s evaluací orientovanou na uživatele, ale i na přínosy tohoto přístupu.Klíčová slova: evaluace orientovaná na uživatele, odhodlanost k jednání, postoje k ochraně přírody, střediska ekologické výchovy Utilization-focused evaluation: Experiences with the educational programme Man and the EnvironmentAbstract: The article describes the process and results of an evaluation research of an educational camp of the Centre for Environmental Education SEVER. The evaluation focused on the impact of the programme on pupils' attitudes towards conservation and their intention to act in an environment-friendly way. In the sample (N = 156), the effect of the programme on both dependent variables was found; a significant correlation between both variables was also found. In a qualitative part of the research, pupils most often reported improving their recycling competencies, enriching their biological awareness and increasing the level of cooperation in their classes. The article also describes a 2-year long process of evaluation and notices both pros and cons connected with utilization-focused evaluation.

“…Geleneksel öğretim dışında öğrencilere gezi boyunca çeşitli aktiviteler ve birinci elden deneyimler sağlaması açısından alan gezisi çok önemli bir öğretim yöntemidir (Flexer ve Borun, 1984). Okul dışı alan gezilerinin yapılandırılmış bir deneyim oluşturma, öğrenmeyi desteklemesi açısından çok önemli bir araç olduğu araştırmacılar tarafından önemle vurgulanmıştır (Flexer ve Borun, 1984;Gennaro, 1981;McKenzie, 1986;Beirs ve McRobbie, 1981, Orion ve Hofstein, 1992Sebasto ve Cavern, 2006;Farmer, Knapp ve Benton;Hutzel ve Goodman, 2004). Alan gezisi öğrenilen kavramların genişletilmesinde ve öğrenmeye ilişkin motivasyonun sağlanmasında öğretici bir araçtır.…”
