Overview

Pre- and post-test study reveals distinct environmental perceptions across school landscapes in primary students, suggesting that peripheral socioeconomics and simplified landscapes weaken nature...

Key Points

To assess whether primary school students' environmental perceptions differ across rural, central, and peripheral school landscapes, and to evaluate whether an interdisciplinary environmental education intervention enhances these perceptions.
Conducted a quantitative pre- and post-test study involving N=740 primary school students across 27 rural and urban schools in 12 municipalities in southern Brazil.
Implemented an interdisciplinary environmental education activity to measure pre- and post-intervention changes in environmental perception scores across geographic and landscape settings.
Environmental perception scores differed significantly according to municipality and school landscape, with peripheral schools differing significantly from both rural and central schools.
Rural and central schools showed no mutual difference in environmental perception scores.
Environmental perception scores increased following the interdisciplinary educational activity, although baseline responses revealed a prevailing view of humans as detached from nature.
