Experiential Noticing

Abstract

Environmental literacy and humans’ declining exposure to the natural environment have become cause for concern as citizens are increasingly relied upon to make decisions about the complex and interrelated nature of environmental issues facing the world today (Coyle, 2005). As a result, sustainability initiatives more frequently depend on education strategies that encourage citizens to participate in the learning experience and promote pro-environmental attitudes and behavior (Lewis, 2019). This investigation considers how a multimodal sensing network can leverage Experiential Noticing as an environmental education strategy for citizens to connect with nature and improve their environmental knowledge, attitude, and intention to act.
