Abstract
This paper examined practice and evaluation of the experienced-based environmental education program for under graduate students at Expo'70 Commemorative Park in Suita, Osaka. Education impacts of the program were measured by the questionnaire which had 40 question items based on three major criteria-environmental education, social contribution and self-realization-. Before and after the program, the questionnaire survey was conducte against an examinee group of 10 students and 3 control groups. The survey results suggested that examinees' education impacts were characterized by “attitude” and “participation” toward social contribution actions including local environmental conservation activities. Our results also indicated that education impacts were acknowledged not only by the increased items in the post survey, but also by the decreased items, some of which seemed to relate with deeper awareness change in the examinee students through tough experiences offered by the program.
