臺灣地區國高中全校式經營環境教育現況之探討

Abstract

臺灣地區推動學校環境教育已經多年，但往往是國小進行得最為熱切及有豐富的成果，而國高中在環境教育的努力則有下降的趨勢。究竟國中學校環境教育如何運作？卻鮮有深入的研究。本研究以多個個案質化訪談的方式，採全校式經營的觀點，深入瞭解國高中在多個面向著手進行學校環境教育工作之現況。研究結果發現學校普遍重視生活環保、校園空間的維護管理仍在要考慮「美觀」或「生態」的抉擇、課程中具有多元的環境教育教學機會，但環境教育的落實因學校的行政支持、教學的參與及學校人員的素養程度而異。

The schools in Taiwan had promoted the environmental education for many years. The environmental education in the primary schools was paid attention and had prosperous outcomes. But, in the middle schools, the environmental education efforts seemed declining. There was little study about the environmental education in the middle schools. This research adopted qualitative method and interviewed with the school teachers to explore the status of environmental education with the whole school approach in the middle schools of Taiwan. This research finds the middle schools put efforts on daily life to save resources. The management of school ground exist contestation between ecological function and manmade scenery. The environmental education in the middle school can be infused into curriculum with many opportunities. The level of implementation of environmental education in the schools depends on the level of the administrator support, teacher participation and their environmental literacy.
