On the first implementation of the SDIBELA, the general average rating performance of the student-participants are as follows: environmental scanning activity was Satisfactory, identifying the prevailing environmental problem or issue had a Not Sufficient rating, environmental project proposal stage was Good, environmental projects implementation was Good, environmental projects impact assessment was Good and production of the OBL outputs was Good. Enhancement and modifications were done on the SDIBELA based from the outcomes of its first implementation. On its iteration on a new set of student participants with the same subject.
