Outline of Final Research Achievements

We assessed a quantitative evaluation method based on a subjective impression of children for an experiential learning program conducted recently at many facilities. Results show that evaluation using the method, adjusted according to the program features (scale and target age), was able to clarify improvement points. We were able to compare results of multiple programs. Moreover, results show that evaluation using our conventional method enables interpretation of the results more deeply by introducing other indexes. Our evaluation method is applicable for evaluation of visitors’ experiences at exhibition facilities such as zoos.
