Yet, despite the dramatic rise in electronic media use among youth and adults, our understanding of its impact, opportunities, and challenges within environmental education remains limited, especially in home contexts. Using a learning ecology framework, we conducted a two-week diary study with 58 diverse adult caretakers, asking them to engage in environmental learning moments with their children. Drawing on qualitative reports of those moments, we found that families relied heavily on digital technologies to support their child’s environmental learning, frequently to supplement other activities or spark rich discussions. Findings illustrate how the digitalization of environmental education can extend beyond passive screen time. Overall, this study reveals the critical role of family conversations and shared digital technologies in supporting environmental learning. environmental learning| nature| children| families| learning technologies| environmental communication Ardoin, Nicole M. https://doi.org/10.1080/00958964.2022.2152411 PER 0 0 0 0 RIEBPL RIEBPL 2023-10-20 0 2023-10-20 00:00:00 2023-10-20 PER 44534 44533
