This article reports on a longitudinal study of a two‐semester middle school environmental learning course that departs from traditional Mexican expository pedagogies through the incorporation of experiential and service learning approaches. In the short term, course participants acquired a heightened awareness of environmental issues, augmented their environmental perceptions and consciousness, and complemented all this with environmentally responsible behaviours. Two years after completing the experiential course, students retained pro‐environmental attitudes and behaviours and unexpectedly exhibited an expanded role in intergenerational learning. The research adds to the handful of studies in this cross‐disciplinary field through qualitative methodologies that refine our understanding of the outcomes of experiential environmental learning.Keywords: experimental environmental educationpro‐environmental behaviourenvironmental service learningintergenerational learningqualitative analysis Notes on contributorAndrew Jon Schneller holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Learning from the University of Arizona and an MPA in Environmental Policy from Indiana University.
