| 摘要: | 環境教育是九年一貫課程七大議題之一，而以自然步道進行戶外環境教育也常為教師所援用。有鑑於此，本研究意圖探討基隆市國小教師利用獅球嶺自然步道進行戶外環境教育的情形，援引個案研究法，以步道鄰近四所國小曾利用獅球嶺自然步道行戶外環境教育之六位教師進行探究，希望藉由這六位個案教師的教學經驗，瞭解他們利用獅球嶺自然步道進行戶外環境教育過程中所面臨的困難與需求，得知他們融入自然步道進行戶外環境教育的方式，進而探究教師融入自然步道進行戶外環境教育的教學省思，以為基隆市教師進行獅球嶺自然步道戶外環境教育的參照。
研究結果發現相關單位的推廣與協助能促進在地的自然步道戶外環境教育，因學校的後山就是步道，有地利之便，加上步道上的資源豐富、四通八達，可依學生的能力行走不同的路徑，獅球嶺自然步道上有珍貴的人文史蹟，又有豐富的動植物生態，更可眺望基隆港的市容景觀，環境資源多元又豐富，可配合的課程很多，涵蓋學校的環境、本位、彈性、鄉土、國防、社會、海洋、自然、生活等課程，所以利用自然步道資源發展戶外環境教育有高度的可行性，並可有效達成環境教育目標。
最後本研究提出以下的建議，在進行戶外環境教育建議方面：相關政府教育單位應重視並推動在地自然步道戶外環境教育的課程，盡速建立基隆在地的自然步道路線地圖與動植物生態資料庫，學校可與社區專業人士開發鄉土環境教育或自然步道探索活動，教師可找尋志同道合者共同進行戶外環境教育。對後續研究的建議：可延伸探討基隆市或其他縣市的自然步道，同儕合作發展學校本位的親山步道環境教育課程，把各項環境教育目標內涵作更深入的研究，並以行動研究來探討各級學校進行獅球嶺自然步道環境教育的實施情形。希冀藉由本研究的探討，讓學生瞭解自己家郷的生態環境和歷史人文背景，並能欣賞大自然的變化與感受大自然的美，引領學生喜愛登山、健行，進行兼具知性與感性之旅，讓學生在親近自然生態的過程，培養更健康的休閒習慣，進而心興愛護家園的情操，成為身心靈健康的生命個體。
Environmental education is one of seven issues of Grade 1-9 integrated curriculum. Many teachers use nature trails for outdoor environmental education. In view of this, the research studies that the elementary school teachers in Keelung use Lion Nature Trail for outdoor environmental education. Based on the case study, this research interviewed six teachers whose schools are nearby Lion Nature Trail, and they have ever used Lion Nature Trail for outdoor environmental education. The purpose of the research takes advantage of their teaching methods to comprehend their difficulties and demands while using natural trails for outdoor environmental education. This research further discussed the teaching reflection and the result can be considered as the reference for teachers who will use natural trails for outdoor
environmental education.
The result of research shows that the promotion and assistance of relevant agencies encourage using local nature trails for outdoor environmental education. Given that the schools’rear mountains are nature trails, with its convenience and rich natural resources, the teachers select different routes depending on students’ physical strengths. Lion Nature Trail has precious cultural and historical sites and abundant flora and fauna, overlooking the cityscapes of Keelung Harbor. Its rich and diversified environmental resources can integrate with curriculum, including school environment, standard, elastic activity, local cultures, national defense, social studies, ocean, science and life courses. Therefore, using nature trails for developing outdoor environmental education is highly feasible and can
achieve effectively environmental education goals.
Finally, the research makes following suggestions for outdoor environmental education. Relevant government units should emphasize and promote the courses of local nature trails for outdoor environment education, and establish local natural trail maps and database of flora and fauna. Schools can develop local cultural education and exploration activities of nature trails with community professionals. Teachers can find like-minded colleagues to work with outdoor environmental education. The suggestions for following researchers are to deeply explore nature trails in Keelung City and other counties. Peer cooperation develops school-based mountain trail environment courses, making in-depth study on contents of environomental education purposes and using action research to discuss outdoor environmental education
implementation of schools at all levels.
By discussion of the research, students can understand their hometown ecological environment and cultural and histroical backgrounds, appreciating nature changes, experiencing nature beauty, leading them to love mountain climbing, hiking and making an intellectual and emotional journey. During the process of getting close to nature, students cultivate healthier leisure activities and home-caring sentiments, transfroming into physical, mental, and spiritual
healthy individuals. |
