Planting the Seeds of Wellbeing: An Example of the Overnight Environmental Education Program at Dongyanshan Nature Center
摘要
本研究嘗試以東眼山自然教育中心《FBI：930檔案》過夜型校外教學課程為例，評估課程在環境教育成效與幸福感的效果，探討幸福感來源，與環境教育成效和幸福感之關係。研究於103年和104年以不對等前後測控制組設計執行，運用問卷針對134位參與課程，及103位未參與課程的六年級學生蒐集資料並進行分析。研究結果顯示學生的環境技能、環境知識、環境態度、正向情緒、心理幸福感、學習滿意感皆顯著提升，顯示課程有助於環境教育方案達成成效與增進幸福感受。學生幸福感來源包括接觸生物、學習新知、正向人際等，其中又以親近自然與生命為主，回應了自然具提升幸福感的潛力。整體環境教育成效與幸福感的正向情緒、心理幸福感、學習滿意感呈正相關，負情緒則呈低度負相關，表示增加正向情緒、心理幸福感、學習滿意感、降低負情緒有助於學生的環境學習，而且增進心理幸福感也有助於環境態度的塑造。最後再依據結果，提出環境教育課程規劃、教學、與後續研究等面向的建議。

The study intends to take program, ＂FBI: File 930＂ from Dongyanshan Nature Center, as an example to assess the effects of programs on the effectiveness of Environmental Education (EE) and well-being, exploring the sources of well-being and the relationships between EE effectiveness and well-being in the program. The investigation was conducted in 2014 and 2015, applying nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. Data were collected through questionnaires from 134 program participants and 103 non-participants. According to the ANCOVA results, significant improvements were found in the environmental skills, environmental knowledge, environmental attitude, positive emotions, psychological well-being and learning satisfactions of the participants. It is implied that the curricula had helped the program achieve its EE objectives and increased the well-being. The sources of wellbeing include contacts with creatures, learning new things and positive interpersonal relationship. In particular, contacts with creatures correspond to the fact that nature has the potential for increasing people's well-being. The EE effectiveness is positively correlated with the positive emotions of well-being, psychological well-being and learning satisfaction, but negatively correlated with the negative emotion. The results represent that the increase of positive emotions, psychological well-being, learning satisfactions and the decrease of negative emotions would help environmental learning of the students; while the increase of psychological well-being also helps to shape one's environmental attitude. The research provides suggestions for EE programs planning and future studies based on the results, with the expectation of contributions to both practices and academic studies.
