環境教育人員核心能力之探究

「人員」是各類環境教育場域中的靈魂，人員的能力即是環境教育推動的關鍵。本研究旨在探究我國環境教育人員應具備的「核心能力」，運用「積木模式」理論進行四階段之研究。前導階段彙整文獻；第一階段採焦點團體法，邀請六位學者專家、七位實務工作者進行座談，發展出環境教育人員的能力框架；第二階段蒐集田野資料，前往十種不同類型環境教育場域共11處進行實地研究，以半結構式大綱訪談29位環境教育工作者。透過兩階段的質性資料蒐集與結果分析，獲得八個構面及38項能力指標，建立我國環境教育人員所需的能力結構。最後，第三階段運用模糊德爾菲法，以上述能力結構發展出｢環境教育人員核心能力模糊德爾菲法問卷｣調查工具，邀請39位專家進行構面及能力指標的重要性評估篩選。研究結果獲得環境教育人員四項「核心能力」為：「環境教育基礎知識」、｢環境教育工作者責任｣、「規劃設計課程方案」、「教學與課程實踐」四項與13項能力指標，並依據研究結果，提出具實證研究基礎之「新版環境教育人員職能模式」。最後亦提出結論與研究建議，做為主管機關擬定相關政策、規劃認證、訓練與未來研究之參考。

Educators are the critical actors in each facility and venue of environmental education. The purpose of this study is to probe the ＂core competencies＂ of environmental educators in Taiwan. Based on the ＂Building Block Model＂ theory from ETA in the U.S., a four-phase study was designed to explore the critical content for professional development. Following the literature review in the initial stage, a focus group was invited with 13 experts to collaboratively create the framework for the required competencies in the first phase. Interviews of 29 practitioners from 11 environmental facilities and venues were conducted in the second phase. The qualitative data collection and analysis derived the eight dimensions and 38 required core competencies. In the third phase, the Fuzzy Delphi Method was employed with 39 experts, including 15 scholars and 24 practitioners, to draw core competencies with high importance. Results of this study show the core competencies of environmental educators include EE fundamental knowledge, professional responsibilities of the environmental educator, program and curriculum designing, and EE teaching and implementation. Based on the results, a revised competency model for environmental educators was built to provide tasks and competence needs for educators in the EE facilities and venues. Conclusions and suggestions for future studies were drawn based on the findings, which can be used as a reference for the authorities, planners of training programs, and environmental educators for self-assessment.
