摘要

本研究之目的，在探討國小四年級學生對自然保育之學習表現。研究對象，為臺北市某國小四年級學生332位。自然保育教學與學習內容，包括：（1）參觀前的科學教室探討：生物多樣性與自然保育；（2）一天的動物園參觀教學；和（3）參觀後的科學教室延伸自然保育探索與討論。研究工具，包括（1）自然保育學習回饋意見表（Cronbach's α=.715）和（2）自然保育學習單。研究結果發現，（1）有92.2%的學生對自然保育與動物園體驗學習感到「非常滿意或滿意」；（2）分別有35.9%和62.0%的學生自陳表示，對動物的瞭解「增加很多」或「有增加一些」；（3）分別有32.8%和60.9%的學生自陳表示，對生物多樣性的認識「增加很多」或「有增加一些」；（4）有43.1%的學生表示，將來「一定會」再到動物園進行參觀；（5）最受學生喜歡的前5種動物，分別為貓熊、企鵝、大象、無尾熊、和老虎；和（6）大部份的學生能提出具體的自然保育行動策略，展現出樂於參與自然保育的行動意願。研究結果顯示，融合自然保育與動物園體驗探究學習，確實有助於國小四年級學生對生物多樣性與自然保育的學習。

The major purpose of this study is trying to explore the science learning outcomes on natural conservation for fourth graders. There were 332 fourth graders from an elementary school in Taipei participated in this study. Science instruction activities include science classroom discussion on the topics of biodiversity and natural conservation, and a one day field trip to the Taipei zoo. Two research instruments were used include a learning questionnaire on natural conservation（Cronbach's α=.715）and a study sheet on natural conservation. The results of the study were summarized as following: 92.1% of pupils satisfied with the science learning and field trip, 35.8% of pupils reports gaining a lots on animals understanding, 32.8% of pupils reports gaining a lots on biodiversity understanding, 43.1% of pupils are willing to visit Taipei zoo again in the future, the most 5 popular animal were panda, penguin, elephant, koala, and tiger, and students have been able to demonstrate their strategies in biodiversity conservation. These results indicated that science instruction integrated with biodiversity conservation and zoo resources has significantly influence on elementary school fourth graders.
