- 中文摘要： 本研究的目的是為了能夠找出符合我國現況的環境教育概念隱含的基本要素（essential elements），並將其以一容易理解的圖形表徵呈現出來。研究主要採用調查（survey）研究法。研究對象涵蓋層面頗為廣泛，包括來自科學教育學會、國家公園學會、環境保護學會以及其他關心環境教育發展的學者專家。利用Q-Sort Technique來收集受訪者對於各環境概念的態度反應，也使用基本資料問卷來收集受訪者的基本背景資料。研究工具Q set經由專家參與評審訂定其表面效度（face validity）及內容效度（content validity），並經pilot test的前後兩次測試達到最終44個環境概念的整體信度測試（Pearson's平均=0.55），研究工具組由郵遞送達經系統隨機抽樣所得之樣本共計280名，回收率達70%。回收的資料使用R型因子分析法（R-factor Analysis )，得到最後的六個基本要素，分別是1.互動與互賴（Interaction and Inerdependence），2.自然資源的保育（ResourcesConservation），3.環境倫理（Environmental Ethics），4.環境管理（Environmental Management），5.生態原理（Ecological Principles )，以及6.承載量與生活教育、環境保護、保育、環境教育等方面的專家經過了兩回合的討論，研擬出了一個簡易圖形，用來表示這六個環境教育內容的基本要素之問的相互關係。
- 英文摘要： The objectives of the study were: 1. to identify the essential elements of the basic concepts inenvironmental education for Taiwan; and 2. to develop an easily-understood graphic model to expressthe interrelationships among the identified essential elements. This study's target population (N=1398)consisted of the Society of Science Education, the National Park Society, the Society of EnvironmentalProtection, and many other concerned individual subscribers of the Quarterly Journal of EnvironmentalEducation. The Q-Sort technique was used to collect research subjects’attitudes toward environmentalconcepts. A group of experts assisted in establishing the instrument's face and content validity. A Test-Retest method was used to decide the reliability of the Q-set. A Q-set including 44 concepts was established(mean of Pearson's r=.55). The research instrument was sent by mail to 280 systematically randomlyselected samples. A total of 196 (70%) research subjects responded to the survey. R-factor analysiswas used to analyze the Q-Sort data response. Six underlying essential elements were extracted andidentified. They are: 1. Interaction and Interdependence, 2. Resource Conservation, 3. EnvironmentalEthics, 4. Environmental Management, 5. Ecological Principles, and 6. Carrying Capacity and Qualityof Life. A graphic representation describing the interrelationships among the identified elements wasalso developed via two rounds of discussion involving an interdisciplinary panel of seven experts inscience education, environmental protection, conservation, and environmental education.
