摘要

本研究透過前、後測問卷，探討金門緬甸蟒保育教育推廣活動參與者的個人背景、環保意識、對金門緬甸蟒的了解與態度，以及其參加活動的學習成果。由113份有效回收問卷的分析發現，問卷填寫者在活動後對蛇類與金門緬甸蟒的了解顯著較活動前為高，對蛇類與金門緬甸蟒的態度也顯著較活動前為正面，肯定本次保有教育推廣活動的成效。同時，問卷填寫者對於「政府應支持金門緬甸蟒的保育教育推廣活動以及研究計畫」的態度在參加過活動後都顯著地轉向更為支持。本研究期望能發展出一套可以評估此類非制式環境教育活動的模式；一方面評量參與民眾的學習成效，一方面協助教育推廣單位從中了解其強項弱項，並依以改進，作為今後類似推廣計畫的參考與依據。

This study was aimed to develop an instrument which could assess participants' learning outcome in various aspects after attending informal educational activities for wildlife conservation. We investigated participants' personal information, general conservation attitude, knowledge about and attitude toward to Kinmen Burmese pytbon and evaluated their learning outcome after an outreach activity through pre-and post-event questionnaire. From 113 valid responses, we found that both indices of participants' knowledge about and attitude toward to Kinmen Burmese python increased after the outreach activities, which suggested that the outreach program worked in changing participants' knowledge and attitude. It should be also noticed that after the outreach events, more participants supported that government should grand more scientific research and educational outreach activities to facilitate general public's understanding about Burmese pythons. Overall, our study found that this educational event not only changed participants' knowledge about but also their attitude toward to Burmese pythons in Kinmen, and could foresee their future positive behaviors of willing to understand and conserve Burmese pythons.
