The environmental education impact of the project was evaluated by conducting written learner interviews prior to the project, immediately following the project work and 6 months after its completion. These were complemented by oral interviews of both the organizing scientists and teachers. Results of the evaluation revealed an increase in environmental knowledge and a sensibilization of the students for water-related environmental issues. The substantial raise in environmental awareness was only partly reflected by a modification of attitudes and willingness to act more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, it was demonstrated that a project involving scientific fieldwork can have an influence on students environmental science literacy and attitude.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Zeitschrift für Geographiedidaktik (ZGD)}, author={Karthe, Daniel and Wildhage, Jan Jasper and Reeh, Tobias}, year={2012}, month={Juni}, pages={69–93} }
