| Science Education at Week-long Residential Outdoor Schools: Results for At-Risk 6th Graders Gabriele Fain and Deborah Parrish American Institutes for Research The American Institutes for Research conducted an evaluation to measure the impacts of week-long residential outdoor education programs for 255 sixth-grade California students. Approximately half of each school’s sixth grade attended outdoor school between September and November of 2004 and served as the treatment group. The remaining sixth grade classrooms attended outdoor school after the data collection period |
| of students – students who attended the program received significantly higher ratings than children who did not participate in six of eight constructs: self-esteem conflict resolution relationship with peers problem solving motivation to learn and behavior in class. Children who attended outdoor school significantly raised their science scores by 27 percent as measured by a pre- and post-survey administered immediately upon their return to school. The increase in science knowledge was maintained six to ten weeks following program participation |
