以結構方程模式探討濕地生態保育知識、態度、行為之影響

Using Structural Equation Modeling to Discuss the Effects of Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior of Wetland Ecological Conservation

本研究以屏東縣僑德國小全校高年級學生共八班為研究對象，接受二個月的濕地生態保育知識教學後，透過問卷普查發放256份，回收有效樣本共244份，有效問卷回收率達95.3%，以AMOS統計軟體進行結構方程模式(Structural Equation Model: SEM)分析，驗證結果顯示，潛在變數：濕地生態保育知識、濕地生態保育態度及濕地生態保育行為所假設的結構方程模式符合常態性檢定，有良好的基本模式通配度、整體模式通配度和內在結構通配度。檢定出保育態度在保育知識和保育行為間有部份中介效果，由路徑靜係數知保育知識對保育態度之總效果為0.83；保育態度對保育行為之總效果為0.50；保育知識對保育行為之總效果為0.78。學生對濕地生物及濕地生態之內容、濕地過度開發所產生的環境問題和對此環境問題所產生的行動或策略等相關知識多認識及了解，會直接或間接正向影響學生在生態管理、說服行為、消費行為和政治法律等相關方面的保育行為。

This research aims to investigate the high-grade students of Chiao-Deo elementary school in Pingtung County, Taiwan. All students in eight classes were investigated using the well-designed questionnaires. Before the investigation of questionnaires, 256 students must accept the education of the course of wetland ecological conservation for two months. Only 244 valid samples were received after completing course training. The effective recovery of questionnaires was 95.3%. The data analysis was conducted using structural equation model(SEM) method. All testing results confirm that knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of wetland ecological conservation was satisfied normality distribution in statistical measurement. High goodness and fitness were completed for the whole structural model of wetland conservation. It also reveals that the attitudes of conservation played a mediate role between knowledge of conservation and behaviors of conservation. Concerning on the path coefficients, the total effects of knowledge of conservation to attitude of conservation was 0.83, and the values for attitude of conservation and knowledge of conservation to behavior were respectively 0.50, and 0.78. Further understanding knowledge of wetland biological and ecological, and strategies for solving environment problems could directly or indirectly affect students’ behaviors on conservation of ecological management and the varied modes of behaviors, including convincing consumer, and political and legal.
