The comparative knowledge in the conservation of watershed forestry of students
majoring in Environmental Education was evaluated and compared the attitudes of students
towards the conservation of watershed forestry. The 30 senior students majoring in
Environmental Education at the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies,
Mahasarakham University was sampling and they were volunteered to participate in the
evaluation. The research instruments comprised a manual on the conservation of watershed
forestry, a leaflet on the conservation of watershed forestry. The test on the conservation of
watershed forestry was a multiple-choice test consisted of 20 items in each four choices and
an attitude test towards the conservation of watershed forestry comprising 10 items each
with a 3-point response scale. Result showed that prior to participate in the conservation of
watershed forestry, the student knowledge was assessed as the moderate level ( =13.57 )
and identified as the high level ( =17.60 ). Knowledge scores before and after their
involvement in the conservation were compared and found significantly difference from
each other at the P = 0.05. Before they participated in the conservation of watershed
forestry, the students’ attitude were rated as the ‘agreed’ level ( =2.63 ), and still remained
at the same level after their participation ended ( =2.91). However, when compared to each
other, these two figures showed the difference in student attitudes before and after their
involvement in the conservation.
