KrasnyIthaca, NY :Cornell University Press,2020.1 online resource (312 pages)Cornell series in environmental educationIn this important intervention, change-agent Marianne E. Krasny challenges the knowledge-attitudes-behavior pathway that underpins much of environmental education practice; i.e., the assumption that environmental knowledge and attitudes lead to environmental behaviors. Krasny shows that certain types of knowledge are more likely than others to influence behaviors, and that generally it is more effective to work with existing attitudes than to try to change them. The chapters expand the purview of potential outcomes of environmental education beyond knowledge and attitudes to include nature connectedness, sense of place, efficacy, identity, norms, social capital, youth assets, and individual wellbeing. Advancing Environmental Education Practice also shows how, by constructing theories of change for their environmental education programs, environmental educators can target specific intermediate outcomes likely to lead to environmental behaviors and collective action, and plan activities to achieve those intermediate outcomes. In some cases, directly engaging program participants in the desired behavior or collective action can lead to changes in efficacy, sense of place, and other intermediate outcomes, which in turn foster future environmental actions. Finally, Advancing Environmental Education Practice shares twenty-four surveys that assess changes in environmental behaviors and intermediate outcomes, and provides guidelines for qualitative evaluations.Cornell series in environmental education.Environmental educationEnvironmental educationCongressesEnvironmental education.Environmental education363.70071Krasny Marianne E.1088649NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910552751003321Advancing Environmental Education Practice2784195UNINA03611oam 2200613I 450 991079079090332120190503073416.00-262-31472-X(CKB)2550000001144891(EBL)3339701(SSID)ssj0001047407(PQKBManifestationID)12432971(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001047407(PQKBWorkID)11160045(PQKB)11592619(StDuBDS)EDZ0000234240(MiAaPQ)EBC3339701(OCoLC)864822097(OCoLC)862371280(OCoLC-P)864822097(MaCbMITP)9697(Au-PeEL)EBL3339701(CaPaEBR)ebr10791808(CaONFJC)MIL540365(OCoLC)864822097(EXLCZ)99255000000114489120131209h20132013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDeliberating American monetary policy a textual analysis /Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey ; with assistance and advice from Andrew BaileyCambridge, Massachusetts :The MIT Press,[2013]©20131 online resource (537 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-306-09114-4 0-262-01957-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Contents; Acknowledgments; 1 Introduction: Why Deliberation?; 2 Deliberation in Theoretical Perspective; 3 Deliberation in the FOMC; 4 Congressional Committees and Monetary Policy; 5 In Their Own Words - Perspectives from the FOMC and Congressional Banking Committees; 6 Does Deliberation Matter for Monetary Policy-Making?; Notes; Bibliography; IndexAmerican monetary policy is formulated by the Federal Reserve and overseen by Congress. Both policy making and oversight are deliberative processes, although the effect of this deliberation has been difficult to quantify. In this book, Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey provides a systematic examination of deliberation on monetary policy from 1976 to 2008 by the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee (FOMC) and House and Senate banking committees. Her innovative account employs automated textual analysis software to study the verbatim transcripts of FOMC meetings and congressional hearings; these empirical data are supplemented and supported by in-depth interviews with participants in these deliberations. The automated textual analysis measures the characteristic words, phrases, and arguments of committee members; the interviews offer a way to gauge the extent to which the empirical findings accord with the participants' personal experiences. Analyzing why and under what conditions deliberation matters for monetary policy, the author identifies several strategies of persuasion used by FOMC members, including Paul Volcker's emphasis on policy credibility and efforts to influence economic expectations. Members of Congress, however, constrained by political considerations, show a relative passivity on the details of monetary policy.Monetary policyUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesEconomic policyECONOMICS/MacroeconomicsECONOMICS/Political EconomyMonetary policyHistory.339.5/30973Schonhardt-Bailey Cheryl1961-140668OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910790790903321Deliberating American monetary policy3779222UNINA
