Abstract
Abstract The Mariana crow (Corvus kubaryi), called Åga, is critically endangered and endemic to the Mariana Island of Rota. This study developed and implemented an avian-focused environmental education curriculum and evaluated the curriculum’s influence on attitudes and knowledge using social science research methods. Fifth and sixth grade student identification of and attitudes toward Åga were measured; students in the treatment group improved their attitudes toward and ability to identify Åga. A longer-term student and teacher training component is recommended. The approaches used in this environmental education program development, implementation, and evaluation could be applied in other global settings.
期刊介绍：
Applied Artificial Intelligence addresses concerns in applied research and applications of artificial intelligence (AI). The journal also acts as a medium for exchanging ideas and thoughts about impacts of AI research. Articles highlight advances in uses of AI systems for solving tasks in management, industry, engineering, administration, and education; evaluations of existing AI systems and tools, emphasizing comparative studies and user experiences; and the economic, social, and cultural impacts of AI. Papers on key applications, highlighting methods, time schedules, person-months needed, and other relevant material are welcome.
