摘要

本研究目的在評估2000年5月27、28日於福山植物園舉辦的自然教育親子活動敎學成效。活動採通訊自由報名，二梯次共計184位學員參加，包括家長88人、兒童96人。敎學內容包含6個植物學主題，由解說人員解說並配合實物及解說牌，亦有動手做的部分。
活動成效以問卷方式評估，於解說前後測驗學員相同的10個問題，於題目外並有學員基本資料及活動體驗等問項。調查結果家長年齡主要在30-40歲之間(51.2%)、職業以軍公教人員較多(53.0%)、兒童以四年級較多(47.1%)、參加動機家長以“讓孩子接觸自然知識”爲多(97.7%)。測驗結果答對率家長由解說前82.1%增加到解說後96.0%，兒童則由77.8%增加到93.2%。活動體驗大部分學員對活動整體表示滿意(96.0%)，對解說人員解說表示“很好”(86.9%)，且願意再參加類似或進階課程(97.3%)。
從本調查分析之結果，除可反應自然敎育實施的成果，也可重新評估敎學內容及架構，作爲未來舉辦自然教育之參考。
