Abstract
MESFI (Minnesota Environmental Sciences Foundation, Inc.) is field testing materials for a community-based environmental course of study. Program emphasis includes clarification of values and examination of logistics necessary to the maintenance of communities in order that they might meet social needs. The approach is individualized, providing a means of studying the impact of one's lifestyle on the environment. Emphasis is placed on development of case studies, small group discussion, and cooperative problem-solving. Use of graphics as a form of summary is stressed. The Area of Affect (AOA) is a method of mapping participant activity, range or environmental impact within the community. Modification of Johari Window and Paired Comparison techniques are used to map data and infer alternatives.
