環境價值觀導引著人類對於環境的態度與行為,而在環境教育中價值教育具有相當重要的地位。檢視環境價值的內涵可以更清楚的了解人類價值觀的轉變過程,更深一層的從環境信念與環境態度的角度,剖析在環境價值中的信念與態度的內涵。透過建立一套環境價值內涵的架構,可以更了解人類的環境信念、環境態度與環境價值觀。 本研究希望透過內容分析的質性分析方法,剖析文獻中關於環境價值的內容,並加以歸納整理,從環境價值的內涵、分類出發,分析歸納出具體的陳述,發展出可以檢視環境信念、態度與價值的環境價值內涵架構。透過進一步的分析,了解環境信念與環境態度的層次,建構出一套環境價值系統,其中也包括環境價值的信念與環境價值的態度部分,透過信念、態度與價值的具體陳述可以了解學生、老師或是一般民眾的環境價值觀念為何。 本研究的結果將環境價值分為六類主要價值,分別是理論型的環境價值、經濟型的環境價值、政治型的環境價值、宗教型的環境價值、社會型的環境價值、以及美學型的環境價值。每一項主要價值下可分為三項的內涵價值,而每一項內涵價值又可再分為信念與態度兩個部分。信念的部分依據描述性、評價性與規定性各有其具體的陳述;態度部分依據認知性、情意性與行動性各有其具體陳述,如此構成本研究所建構的環境價值的內涵架構。
