在全球化的脈絡下,國家之間不受時空距離與社會文化的限制,以地球村的方式在政治、經濟、文化方面促成跨國界的相互連結。各國為了培養公民的全球意識,理解全球和跨文化議題,增進溝通與相互理解,全球教育因應而生。隨著COVID-19肆虐,全球進入一個嶄新的生活模式,沒有一個國家可以置身事外,每個人都需要適應與COVID-19為伍的新生活形態。因全球暖化而日漸加劇極端氣候的發生,使環境問題成為全球教育中最受關注的議題,環境議題必須藉由環境教育來提升人類對於環境的覺知、知識、價值、態度、技能與行動力才能加以改善。本文採用文獻分析法,先就環境教育的全球發展脈絡進行論述,並參酌我國《十二年國民基本教育課程總綱》和相關實徵研究,提出環境教育課程設計之原則及應用包括:貼近真實生活的議題、資訊科技融入教學、數位遊戲和虛擬實境教學、自主野外實際探察。
Under the context of globalization, cross-border connections have existed among countries in political, economic, and cultural dimensions in the world. To foster citizens' global awareness, cross-cultural understandings, communication, and interaction and to shape global citizenship, global education was born. With the COVID-19 epidemic, everyone in the world has to change his/her lifestyle to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and large-scale infection. No one can be an exception. Moreover, as global warming is getting increasing and extreme climate causes various damages, environmental problems have become the most concerned issue in global education. Environmental problems can be improved through environmental education, which aims to enhance human's environmental awareness, knowledge, value, attitudes, skills, and action. Using the literature review, this paper first discusses the global developmental context of environmental education, and reviews the " Curriculum Guidelines of 12-Year Basic Education " and related previous research. After that, the paper suggests the principles and applications of environmental education curriculum design, including the application of real-life issues, integrating information technology into teaching, using digital games and virtual reality teaching, applying self-guided fieldwork.
