國民小學南一版教科書內容涵蓋環境教育概念之分析

Analysis of Coverage of Environmental Education Concepts in Elementary School Nan-I Version Textbooks

本研究使用內容分析法並以108條環境教育概念為依據，評析國小南一版95學年度七大學習領域108冊教科書。研究結果顯示這些教科書中所涵蓋的環教概念數量共達351個。在這些概念的分布上，社會(46.72%)涵蓋最多，其次是健康與體育(20.80%)、自然與生活科技(12.82%)、綜合活動(10.26%)、……等；而語文（包含國語、英語、台語和客語）與數學領域所包含的環教概念數僅有8個(2.28%)，明顯過少，而可考慮酌予增加。351個概念在11項類別的分布上，所占比例最少的類別是「人類浪費行為」(0.85%)，其次是「資源」(3.42%)、「地球」(4.84%)、「價值觀與倫理觀」(4.84%)、……等：在當今由於能源短缺、環境惡化，引發全球節能減碳運動風潮之際，教科書內容宜增加上述相關的概念。

Using both the 108 environmental concepts as the research instrument and the method of content analysis， the researchers analyzed coverage of environmental education concepts in a total of 108 elementary textbooks published by Nan-I between 2006 and 2008. The study shows that up to 351 environmental education concepts are covered in the textbooks. In terms of quantity， the coverage of environmental education concepts is most prevalent in social studies (46.72%)， followed by health and physical education (20.80%)， natural science and life technology (12.82%)， and integrated activities (10.26%). There is little coverage in languages (Chinese， English， Taiwanese and Hakka) and mathematics; only 8 environmental education concepts (2.28%) are covered in these textbooks. When all 351 concepts are distributed under 11 concept categories， ＂wasteful behavior of humanity＂ (0.85%) constitutes the smallest proportion， followed in increasing proportion by ＂resources＂ (3.42%)， ＂earth＂ (4.84%)， and ＂values and ethics＂ (4.84%). Textbook writers should consider increasing proportionately low， or completely lacking， environmental education concepts in textbook contents to allow students to achieve balance and completeness in their learning of concepts， and thus improve the effectiveness of integrating environmental education into the seven major fields of learning， in the nine-year integrated curriculum. The results of the study may be used as reference for improving teaching materials in the future.
