The research carried out from May 2016 to June 2017 is to indentify factors affecting the results of environmental education through extra-curricular activities organized by community resources. The participants were 50 teachers and 30 parents of students from 10 primary schools in Hau Giang province’s rural areas. Sociological survey method was used in the research. Primary data were used in the binary logistic regression model, in which dependent variable Y indicated the impacts of environmental education through extra-curricular activities organized by community resources. Independent variables of X include: X₁: Equipment; X₂: Documents; X₃: Students’ age; X₄: Budget. The equation of this model is: Log_e P(Y=1)/P(Y=0) = -5.933 + 2.840X₁ + 3.319X₂ + 2.729X₃ + 3.582X₄. Besides, a summary of options (%) and a band score (scale from 0 to 10) were used to evaluate the impacts of factors that affect the results of these environmental education activities. Results of analyzing important factors are as following: support from primary schools and student’s parents to extra curricular activities for environmental education; requirements of teaching environmental education contents; suitable time for educational activities and solutions to draw attention from parents to the environment education activities.
