Developing a set of Environmental Education Indicators to assess the government sectors' achievement on implementing EE in Taiwan is the purpose of this study. Content analysis of national reports, interviews with coordinators of BE in governmental sectors, and surveys on EE researchers and educators were conducted to select and determine 11 EE indicators. This study has gone through the process of conceptualizing, selecting, and giving operational definitions of environmental education indicators. Its research design includes two stages: the first is to apply document analysis, and interviews to develop the detailed components, evaluation criteria, data collection, and evaluation strategies; and the major focus of the second stage is to use Delphi techniques and questionnaire survey to confirm the validity and reliability of the indicators developed in the first stage. The result suggests the national EE indicator system could consist of three categories: input, process, and output categories. The input indicators include human resources, material resources, and EE offices. The process category has the indicators of governmental operation, education and training, media & teaching materials, propaganda, research and international cooperation, and awards for EE. The output category contains the indicators of environmental literacy and environmental actions.
