Our Earth's Future Final Evaluation Report

In its program, “Maximizing Lifelong Learning Opportunities: Innovative Strategies for Science Museums,” the American Museum of Natural History sought to develop, implement and assess a series of online and face-to-face adult learning courses, that shared the name “Our Earth’s Future” and focused on the topic of climate change. An external evaluation of this effort was conducted by Rockman et al, an independent evaluation firm that specializes in the evaluation of informal science learning programs. This research effort builds on prior knowledge gained from studies of adult learning programs in the museum’s Sackler Lab, and sought to provide a more detailed understanding of adult’s learning preferences and processes in addition to examining course outcomes and impacts. Appendix includes instruments.
