A Theoretical and Empirical Study of the Learning Process in Conservation and Outdoor

在这项研究中，他们挑战了一项基础研究：重点关注自然研究和自然游戏作为保护和户外环境教育的实践，研究这些实践与综合环境教育结构之间关系的理论假设，通过日本和美国之间的可比方法，提取区域环境教育中动态实践的一些类型和实践模式；并寻找一些可以在保护和户外环境教育中更加结构化的理论和实践的学习主题。在本研究的第一年，他们研究了美国作为保护和户外环境教育的发达国家的一些典型案例。然后，Norio Koizumi和Kazuki Ishizaki可以收集到很多这一研究领域的文献，如Nature Games等。因此，在2004年的第二年（最后一年），他们在日本和美国的可比研究的基础上，派遣了一名调查员安藤敏彦和一名对研究领域有大量信息的助理调查员福里哈塔新一，参加了北美环境教育协会（NAAEE）的年会上，进行了这项研究。同时，首席调查员浅冈幸彦（Yukihiko Asaoka）和首席调查员小岛义孝（Yoshitaka Kojima）也获得了一些关于东亚地区（特别是韩国）保护和户外环境教育的文献和信息。然后，他们实践了在NAAEE中积累的重要生活体验（SLE）的新研究方法。这些都是构建和提取一些保护和户外环境教育模式的挑战。此外，他们还发布了一份研究报告。

In this study, They challenged a fundamental research : to focus on Nature Study and Nature Games as practices in Conservation and Outdoor Based Environmental Education, to examine a theoretical hypothesis of a relationship between those practices and the structure of comprehensive environmental education, to extract some types and practical models of dynamic practices in regional environmental education, through a comparable method between Japan and United States, and to find some theoretical and practical subjects of the learning which can be more structural in Conservation and Outdoor Based Environmental Education.In the first year of this study, they researched some typical case studies in the United States, as a developed country in Conservation and Outdoor Based Environmental Education. Then, Norio Koizumi and Kazuki Ishizaki could collect a lot of documents of this research field, such as Nature Games and so on. Therefore, in the second (final) year 2004, they conducted this study, based on a comparable research between Japan and United States, like dispatching an investigator Toshihiko Ando and an adjunct investigator Shinichi Furihata who has a lot of information about the research area, to the annual conference of North American Association of Environmental Education(NAAEE).Meanwhile, the head investigator Yukihiko Asaoka and an investigator Yoshitaka Kojima also got some documentations and information of Conservation and Outdoor Based Environmental Education in the East Asian region (especially South Korea). Then, they practiced a new research method of Significant Life Experiences (SLE) which was accumulated in the NAAEE. Those were challenges in structuring and extracting some models of Conservation and Outdoor Based Environmental Education. Besides, they released a report book as a result of this study.
