Abstract
We investigate the relationship between conceptual change in food, energy, water (FEW) concepts and students’ transformative experiences, self-efficacy, and maintained situational interest. We explore how conceptual change and these motivation variables relate to non-majors’ choice to declare an environmental program (EP) major and students’ confidence in an EP major.
