Do changes in students FLP knowledge and attitudes differ by residence in rural, suburban or urban areas?
Yes. Suburban students in the experimental grade 2-3 classes showed greater knowledge gains than their rural contemporaries. Rural 2-3 grade students recorded greater gains in positive attitudes than their suburban counterparts but not at a statistically significant level. Insufficient data were available to compare urban 2-3 grades adequately with the other residency groups. Suburban students in the 4-6 grade experimental group showed the greatest and most positive changes in their attitudes about food, land and people statements. Suburban experimental students registered significantly higher positive attitude changes than did their cohorts in the suburban control or the urban and rural control and experimental groups. Regardless of treatment (control or experimental), the knowledge gains of all rural 4-6 grade students between the pre- and post-assessment tests were significantly greater than gains of the urban and suburban 4-6 grade students. No statistically significant differences
