摘要

本文主要介紹七股研究中心在沿海濕地生態教育推動成果。整體推動工作分為加強館內生態教育功能及館外進行到校服務。在加強館內生態教育功能部分經分析參觀黑面琵鷺生態展示館遊客之旅遊特性結果顯示，遊客以家庭旅遊為主且多來自南部鄰近地區。主要旅遊動機有「為了欣賞自然生態景觀」、「為了增加學習新事物的機會」、「為了離開都市接近大自然」、「為了增進與家人朋友之間的感情」及「滿足心中的好奇心」；對於解說媒體需求主要為「設置戶外解說牌」及「播放多媒體生態影片」。依上述的結果建議如下：（1）未來該館應增加媒體宣傳及主動推廣；（2）展示內容應考量兒童的需求，提昇親子教育之功能；（3）展示館周邊應增設戶外解說牌與實際生物相對應，提昇遊客對生態的認。另在館外到校服務部分，以「黑面琵鷺的旅程」、「濕地好好玩」及「海岸植物的生存戰爭」3種教案進行到校服務，總計執行182場次，學生參與人數為3886人。經前後測結果顯示3種教案在教學後平均進步分數均顯著提昇。表示經由我們的教學活動，確實能提升國小學童對於濕地相關知識的認知能力。

This study introduces the promotion results of coastal wetland ecological education in Chiku Research Center. We investigated the traveling motivation behind tourists to the Black-Faced Spoonbill Ecology Exhibition Hall (BFS Hall) and evaluated the demand for interpretative media. The results revealed in this study are as follow: most tourists were engaged in family tourism and most of those surveyed were from southern Taiwan or Tainan city. The appreciation of natural scenery was the primary motivation for traveling. Five major motivations including ＂appreciation of nature and scenery＂, ＂exploration something new＂, ＂familiarity with nature＂, ＂promotion the family and friendships＂ and ＂satisfaction of curiosity＂ were generated by factor analysis. The tourists demands outdoor caption board and ecological video for interpretative media. According the results, we suggested as follow: 1) the BFS Hall should increase media propaganda to attract more tourists; 2) to develop exhibited facilities and content suited children's demand; 3) to construct outdoor caption board in order to improve natural environment knowledge of tourists. In the other side, we developed 3 interactive teaching courses suitable for elementary school students. They were ＂Have Fun in the Wetland＂, ＂Long Journey of Black-faced Spoonbill＂ and ＂Seashore plant competition＂. A total of 3886 students from 182 classes were implemented by those 3 courses. The outcomes of intervention were measured by questionnaires administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the teaching course. The results indicated that after the teaching course the student knowledge about coastal ecological was significant improved (p＜.01) on post-test in 3 teaching courses.
