溫泉區生態旅遊環境知識、態度與行為之研究－－以國小教師為例

Study on the Environmental Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior of Hot Springs Ecotourism among the Elementary School Teachers

生態旅遊乃結合觀光資源及環境保育，為國際上積極推展的旅遊模式，而我國政府也將生態旅遊納入國民教育九年一貫課程，教導學生在參與旅遊時能融入環境教育理念與實踐，所以教師扮演落實生態旅遊之關鍵授業角色。本研究主要探討國小教師溫泉區生態旅遊的環境知識、態度與行為，進而探討國小教師背景條件在溫泉區生態旅遊的環境知識、態度與行為間之關係。本研究採用問卷調查法，問卷內容包括基本資料、溫泉區生態旅遊的環境知識量表、溫泉區生態旅遊的環境態度量表與溫泉區生態旅遊的環境行為量表四個部分，以台南市國小教師為研究對象。採分層隨機抽樣的方式抽取樣本，抽樣23所學校，取得479份有效問卷進行實證分析，所得之結果如下：1.國小教師對溫泉區生態旅遊的環境知識具有中上之程度、環境態度方面的表現積極、環境行為表現趨於正向。2.國小教師對溫泉區生態旅遊的環境行為在性別、現任教師職務、是否參加過生態旅遊、是否加入過相關保育團體、是否將環境教育議題融入七大領域課程及一年內到溫泉區旅遊的次數上有顯著差異。3.教師溫泉區生態旅遊的環境態度、環境知識與環境行為有顯著相關。最後，根據以上研究結論提出建議，供政府單位、學校單位及旅遊業者發展生態旅遊與實施環境教育的參考。
