dc.description.abstractAn assessment of the use and effectiveness of national and provincial park programs and resources by teachers on Vancouver Island, B.C. was conducted by the author and funded by Environment Canada Parks Service during the autumn of 1991. One-hundred-sixty­-six teachers from eleven public school districts and four independent schools were surveyed. Teachers from all grade levels (K-12) and across all major subject disciplines were included in the survey. The research data collected in this survey provided valuable insight into the types of programs, services, and resources offered by parks which are most useful to teachers. General kinds of resource materials and concept areas (topics and themes) of most value to teachers and which could be offered through park programs were also identified. Factors affecting the implementation and integration of park programs and resources into the school curriculum were identified. Recommendations were provided for the future development of park programs which will enhance park useability by school groups. Future research needs in the field of park education were discussed.en
