The aim of this research to inquiry if outdoor EE is effective teaching method in terms of gaining environmental knowledge, awareness, and attitude of in-service teachers. The quantitative methodology and pretest-posttest-control (PPC) groups design are used. There are two control groups and one experimental group. The educators teach subjects via outdoor experimental activities for experimental group. The indoor experimental activities are used for control group 1; traditional methods (lecturing, question-answer, discussion) are used for control group 2.
