摘要

本研究的主要目的在於：(1)探究影響花蓮環保團體積極成員其環境行動養成之重要生命經驗；(2)再利用這些重要的生命經驗建構出一個能影響花蓮環境公民形成的生命歷程。本研究採郵寄問卷寄給73位花蓮環保團體積極成員，來收集其「自傳式的回憶」，共得到42份有效問卷，以內容分析法來登錄分類。結果發現，最重要的八項影響因子，依序爲：「自然經驗（幼年、小學階段）」、「環保團體」、「心愛地方／自然棲地的消失」、「朋友」、「自然經驗（社會階段）」、「生命信念」、「父母」、「對污染／環境問題的憂慮與厭惡」、與「職業」。最後，再根據本研究結果，對於未來台灣環境教育的課程發展、教學、與後續的重要生命經驗研究，提出具體的建議。

The major purposes of this study are (1) to examine significant life experiences in the development of environmental action on the part of active environmental organization members in the Hualien area; and (2) to establish the life path that those active members have followed as they developed environmental action. A questionnaire was mailed to 73 selected active members of environmental organizations to collect their autobiographical memories. Forty-two completed questionnaires were transcribed and subjected to content analysis. The results indicated that the most important significant life experiences were ranked as follows: ”experiences with natural areas (childhood)”, ”environmental organizations”, ”beloved place/habitat destruction”, ”friends”, ”experiences with natural areas (adulthood)”, ”principles”, ”parents”, ”pollution”, and ”vocation”. Implications for program development and instructional practice are presented, and recommendations for further significant life experiences research are provided.
