This research followed 10 semester-long university courses, during one academic year, implementing PBEL pedagogies with a focus on urban farming. Courses came from a wide array of disciplines including courses focused on science, technology, engineering, or mathematics as well as many non-STEM courses. Students completed pre- and post-assessments to measure change in civic-mindedness, place attachment, situated sustainability meaning-making, and environmental scientific literacy. Statistically significant positive change with small to moderate effect sizes were found in student’s environmental scientific literacy, situated sustainability meaning-making, place attachment, and civic-mindedness.en-USPublisher PolicyPlace-Based Experiential Learning (PBEL) pedagogiesurban farmingenvironmental scientific literacysituated sustainability meaning-makingplace attachmentcivic-mindednessConference proceedings
