| Abstract: | A combination of teaching techniques and a Social Environmental Education model, which together reflected an outdoor educational strategy, was employed at the Yankari National Park in Nigeria in 1994 to reorientate a sample of teachers towards environmental education (EE) popularization and delivery at the primary and junior secondary school levels. Pre- and post-workshop assessments conducted to determine the impact of the workshop strategy on teachers' EE profile (TEEP) — comprising awareness (Aw), knowledge (Kn), skills (pS), action (Ac) and commitment/participation (Ct) — indicated a highly significant shift in teacher competencies and conceptual awareness about EE. The magnitude of change in Aw and Kn against that of pS, Ac and Ct attests to the need to regularly expose teachers to EE problem-solving situations to internalize EE and affect attitude and behaviour in teachers. |
