Summary
MEERA is a website supporting environmental educators' program evaluation. It offers unique self-directed learning resources to enhance evaluation practices and inform future design.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Education
- Program Evaluation
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Environmental education programs require robust evaluation for effectiveness.
- Educators often lack accessible, specialized resources for program evaluation.
- Self-directed learning platforms can bridge this gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- Introduce the My Environmental Education Evaluation Resource Assistant (MEERA) website.
- Highlight MEERA's unique features for supporting program evaluation.
- Encourage reflection on self-directed learning in evaluation resource design.
Main Methods:
- Website development and content curation.
- Focus on user engagement and resource accessibility.
- Exploration of self-directed learning principles.
Main Results:
- MEERA provides a dedicated online platform for environmental educators.
- The website offers distinct self-directed learning tools for evaluation.
- User interaction is encouraged for site improvement insights.
Conclusions:
- MEERA serves as a valuable tool for enhancing environmental education program evaluation.
- The design emphasizes self-directed learning to empower educators.
- Further exploration can optimize self-directed learning resources for evaluation.

03:00Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
01:29Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...
01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

01:30Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation
Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often blend...
01:28Introduction to Microbial Ecology
Microbial ecology examines the complex web of interactions and diversity among microorganisms within various ecosystems. This field seeks to understand how microbial populations adapt to and influence their environments and how these interactions shape broader ecological processes. Microbes are integral to ecosystem function, participating in nutrient cycling, energy flow, and the maintenance of environmental homeostasis.An ecosystem represents a dynamic interaction between living organisms...
01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
