Abstract
The environmental education is the forefront of the environmental conservation, the Shih-Men reservoir, one of the main water supply reservoirs in north Taiwan, the natural environment shows the extremely importance for the Shih-Men reservoir. it’s suitable for course of integrate the stream environmental education into school.
National Taiwan University executed “The project of investigating the indicator organisms’ habits and rebuilding habitat environment in Shihmen Reservoir watershed (2/2)” by Northern Region Water Resources Office. Water Resources Agency Ministry of Economic Affairs since 2009, this project used ecological monitor and evaluation for indicator organisms, habitat rebuilding, and created local conservation workshops to approach ecological investigation deeply. Therefore, the attempt on this research is to understand the teachers’ teaching willing and opinion if integrating the stream
environmental education into the school course.
This research which by the questionnaire. The purpose of incorporate teaching course of the school is to investigate the teachers’ intention about integrates the stream environmental education into the school course, using questionnaire survey from March to August 2010. The questionnaire is divided 3 indexes: whether stream environmental education conform to target of Environmental education from Grade 1-9 Curriculum and School-based Curriculum, and the problems it will probably meet, amounts to 19 questions, 2 of questions are multiple response questions and others are measured items on 5-point Likert-type scales. The hypothesis of teacher''s personal background relating to the stream environmental education into the school course were tested by ANOVA
(p=0.05).
Two questionnaires of this research are to investigate teacher''s teaching will with the stream ecological workshop, and suitable for national primary school of the Shih-Men reservoir’s with the environmental teaching of stream. The result is as following. 12 questionnaires were retrieved, the mean value of pre-workshop in each index is 3.78-4.08, and post-workshop is 3.72-3.92. It shows that local teachers generally agree on integrating stream ecology conservation course into school environmental course, but the average of post-workshop is slightly lower than pre-workshop(p>0.05). Excluding the concern in san-guang workshop─because students’ highly vigorous and active in the activity has affected school teacher’s worry in outdoor courses─and then comparing the other two schools. It shows that there is still no significant difference in each index (p>0.05), but among these 4 indexes, there are 3 of its average in post-workshop is higher than pre-workshop. It indicates that local teachers are willing to integrate the Stream Ecology conservation course into school course.
The result of incorporate teaching course of the school is to investigate the teachers’ intention is as following. 76 questionnaires were retrieved, the mean value of 3 indexes is 3.79-4.21, it shows that local teachers generally agree on integrating stream environmental education into the school course. In teacher''s personal background, there is significant difference in the index 2 and index 3 of teacher’s personal stream ecological teaching (p<0.05), it show that teachers who have personal stream ecological teaching agree on integrating stream environmental education into the School-based Curriculum and encourage parents and study of student. The most influence factor of implement stream environmental education is the lack of environmental knowledge of
stream.
It indicates that local teachers are willing to integrate the stream environmental education into school course, when promoting the stream environmental education in the future, the scholarly research unit may provide the related stream knowledge, and the government educational department may provide the teacher''s training raise.
