摘要

本研究旨在瞭解《環境教育法》所規定之「4小時環境教育」課程在桃園縣國民小學的實施現況及所面臨的需求與困境。針對桃園縣100所小學的200位「環境教育業務承辦人員」進行問卷調查，並將研究結果進行歸納與分析，研擬具體可行的策略與建議，以提供環保、教育機關或其他相關單位作為未來《環境教育法》執行、檢討及修正之參考，期能藉此提升環境教育之品質。
本研究之有效問卷回收率達93%；從問卷資料中得知，只有48%的環境教育業務承辦人員贊成《環境教育法》---「每年4小時環境教育」的這項規定；且大部分的環境教育業務承辦人員對於「環境教育人員認證」之「24小時環境相關議題」研習的參加意願都不高。綜合問卷研究結果得知，目前環境教育業務承辦人員在推動教職員工參加「4小時環境教育」課程，所遭遇的困境有「教職員工參與意願不高」、「活動規劃難推陳出新」、「學校本身各類相關議題之研習活動繁多」、「行政業務繁忙」等，使得《環境教育法》雖然立意良好，但卻容易流於形式。
為了讓環境教育能夠真正的落實與推動，本研究建議政府相關單位應先針對各校之環境教育業務承辦人員舉辦說明研討會，針對《環境教育法》之相關規定進行說明與溝通，以獲得他們的認同和支持。另外，建議政府各相關主管機關應有各種配套措施，提供更多環境教育的設施、場所及教學資源，讓各個學校有更多的選擇，能夠辦理更多元、更有趣，內容更豐富、更吸引人的環境教育課程。最後，建議有關單位訂定相關的獎勵辦法，「用獎勵取代罰則」，鼓勵那些認真、積極辦理「環境教育」的學校或相關人員。
