Abstract
There are various definitions of environmental education, but, as basic objectives, the educational exercise should always promote an understanding of how the world outside the classroom operates, how people who live in that world respond to environmental issues, and how and why certain decisions are made. In this example of environmental education, the views of Norfolk residents about the management of the Norfolk Broads were assessed and analysed in relation to certain aspects of social psychology theories. The methodologies employed are discussed, as are the views of the participating students. Some observations on the implications for environmental education are made.Keywords
