Application of interdisciplinary approaches of conservation biology to practical environmental education at universities, with special reference to environmental internship and field study programs.

1.本研究的目的是开发跨学科、实用和解决问题的方法，作为日本大学环境研究学生的补充环境教育，以保护区域和全球范围的生物多样性。保护生物学的跨学科性、实践性和解决问题性已应用于环境实习和出国留学项目.美国大学实习情况调查，由于美国大学有着浓厚的实践教育传统，即“做中学”，而实习是获得实践教育的成功和有效途径之一。本研究从环境实习的定义、环境实习项目的多样性、环境实习与学生、学校和组织的关系、环境实习与学校、组织的作用、环境实习的教育意义等方面对波士顿地区的环境实习进行了详细的调查，特别是对波士顿地区的环境实习项目进行了详细的分析。 关于我们 波士顿大学生物、能源与环境研究系.日本大学环境实习的实践。通过借鉴美国大学实习项目的成功经验，以武藏工业大学环境情报系的本科生为对象，开展了环境实习试点项目。讨论了该节目的教育意义.美国的实地考察项目实地考察项目，特别是出国留学项目越来越受到美国大学环境研究学生的欢迎。实地考察项目的优势，学生，教师和大学进行了调查。环境研究中最成功的海外留学项目之一是位于波士顿的实地研究学院（SFS）。通过在下加利福尼亚的SFS现场考察，对墨西哥下加利福尼亚热带海岸生态学项目进行了考察，并对该项目的要素进行了调查.为日本大学生开设的野外实习项目。为日本大学生开设的两个基于野外实习的跨学科项目已经开发，并进行了试点项目。一个是大学森林保护活动，这是与ISO14001，在大学的环境管理体系。另一个是澳大利亚热带雨林恢复留学项目。该计划是在SFS的帮助下开发的，SFS是位于凯恩斯的雨林研究中心。讨论了这些现场项目的优势。少

1. Purpose of the projectThe purpose of this research is development of interdisciplinary, practical and problem-solving approaches as supplemental enrichment environmental education for Japanese environmental studies students at universities to conserve biological diversity in regional and global scale. The interdisciplinary, practical and problem -solving nature of conservation biology has applied to environmental internship and study abroad program.2. Survey on internship in the U.S.universities.Since there is a strong tradition of practical education to "learn by doing" in the U.S.universities, and internship is the one of the successful and effective way to obtain practical education. In this research on environmental internship, 1) its definition, 2) diversity of the program, 3) partnership between students, university and organization, 4) role of these three sectors, 5) educational significance of environmental internship were investigated in details in Boston area, especially a … More t Department of Biology, Energy and Environmental Studies of Boston University.3. Practice of environmental internship at a Japanese university.By incorporating successful and essential elements of internship program in the U.S.universities, pilot environmental internship program was conducted for undergraduate students of the Musashi Institute of Technology, Faculty of Environmental and Information Studies. The educational significance of the program was discussed.4. Field study programs in the U.S.Field study programs especially study abroad programs are increasing popularity with environmental studies students in the U.S.universities. The advantages of field study program for students, faculty, and university were investigated. One of the most successful study abroad programs in environmental studies is the School for Field Studies (SFS), based in Boston. The program of Baja California, Mexico on tropical coastal ecology was investigated by staying at the filed campus of the SFS in Baja California and the elements of the program were investigated.5. Practice of field program for Japanese university students.Two of the field based interdisciplinary programs for the Japanese university students have developed and their pilot programs were practiced. One is a university forests conservation activity, which was linked with ISO14001, environmental management system at the university. The other is study abroad program of restoration of tropical rainforest in Australia. The program was developed with the help of the SFS, the Center for Rainforest Studies in Cairns. The advantage of these field programs was discussed. Less
