本研究旨在从小学到高中，透过讲解课程内容的制作理论及课程的开发，以促进对循环社会的了解，以改善社会研究中的环境教育。为了达到这些目的，我们：1)从环境经济学的角度展示了废物管理的关键概念。2)从环境经济学的角度给出了循环型社会的具体案例。3)展示了以社会研究中对循环社会的理解为目标的环境教育综合课程模式。4)为小学、初中和高中制定课程主题。5)安排了一门课程，让学生了解循环型社会是如何建立在环境经济学基础上的。结果，我们：(1)展示了学生理解有效的废物管理对于维持循环社会的重要性。(2)提炼和整理了18个基本概念和60个具体概念，以认识废物管理所注意的环境问题。(3)揭示了所谓“下游产业”作为循环型社会认可度应用的意义和要素。(4)为学校制定了课模和课题，使学生理解“损害、成本、效率”和“价值、效益、剩余”的概念。(5)根据以上结果，将小学、初中、高中的概念知识分别编排为了解循环社会的课程。

This research was done to improve environmental education in social studies by explaining the theory of making lesson contents and developing a curriculum to foster understanding of recycling society from elementary school to high school.To achieve these purposes, we:1)showed the key concepts of waste management from the viewpoint of environmental economics.2)showed a specific case of recycling society from an environmental economics perspective.3)showed integrated lesson models of environmental education aimed at an understanding of recycling society in social studies.4)developed lesson topics for elementary, secondary, and high schools.5)arranged a curriculum to aware how recycling society is based on environmental economics.As a result, we:(1)showed the importance of student's comprehension that effective waste management is essential to sustain a recycling society.(2)extracted and ordered 18 basic and 60 specific concepts to recognize the environmental problem noted by waste management.(3)revealed the significance and elements of the so-called "downstream industry" as an application of the recognition of recycling society.(4)developed a lesson model and lesson topics for schools which enable students to understand the concept of "damage, cost, efficiency" and "value, benefit, surplus".(5)arranged the conceptual knowledge separately for elementary, secondary, and high school as a curriculum for the understanding of recycling society based on the above results.
