Pages 38-41 | Published online: 15 Jul 2010

Learning by doing may not be the most effective strategy for teaching environmental problem-solving skills.

The implications of building familiarity with environmental issues and solutions from a variety of examples are discussed, and an explanation for the reported low success of classroom action projects is presented.
