Refined by: Subject Area=(EDUCATION, SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES ) - 36 results, most about medical education

Looked at related articles of Title: Evaluating the impact of an environmental education programme: an empirical study in Mexico

Refined this search set to subject area="environmental studies" – 42 results, this refined to the denotation of "environment" i'm interested

Observation - interesting, "environment" also refers to a more general denotation of environment, such as a learning environment

Overall – high recall but little relevance resulting from the above searches
