Research on Development of a Leader-training Curriculum for Nature-based Experiential Learning Environmental Education

1. 在本科学研究的当前项目下组织的自然体验式学习研究委员会起草了一份题为“自然体验式学习环境教育领导者培训课程设置的一般研究”的中期报告，并向有关方面介绍了项目报告的中期结果。这些机构包括日本环境教育学会、日本科学教育学会，而该报告是根据这些机构的实际情况量身定做的。为了在当地人才的培养和应用上做出一个既具体又实用的模型，研究主要集中在北海道久次郎滨中镇的Kiritappu湿地、鹿儿岛的Tarumizu市社区/自然学校和长野县的Yasuoka村自然学校的调查领域。采用了基本的局部调查和实际分析。调查进一步深入到实际案例研究中，这些研究关注的是对胜任能力的需求。领导者在发展普通环境教育方面更加重视，理论框架的建设也取得了进展。特别是，定期为东京地区的研究人员举行小组会议，目的是建立将科学教育和自然体验学习结合起来的课程。还对哥斯达黎加和巴西采用的实际案例研究和实际课程进行了调查。自然体验学习研究委员会在研究领导培养与科学教育相结合的课程建设的同时，在方便的时候召开会议，继续讨论如何衡量两组研究成果的交流与整合。结论：随着研究成果的进展，基于这四个支柱，很明显，在可持续发展教育（ESD）框架下，将基于自然的体验式学习作为实施环境教育的主要方法具有很大的潜力。少

1. The Research Commitee for Nature-based Experiential Learning, organized under the current project within this scientific research, drew up a midterm report entitled "General research on setting a training curriculum for leaders in nature-based experiential learning environmental education" and presented the midterm findings of the project report to those concerned. These included the Japanese Society of Environmental Education, the Japan Society for Science Education, and the presentation was tailored to be relevant as such.2. In order to make both a concrete and practical model in terms of local personnel training and application, the research mainly focused on the survey fields of Kiritappu Wetlands in Hamanaka Town, Kujiro (Hokkaido), a Tarumizu City community/nature school (Kagoshima), and a Yasuoka Village nature school (Nagano). Basic local area surveys and practical analyses were employed. Surveys further delved into practical case studies concerned with the need for competen … More cy by leaders in the development of general environmental education, and progress was made in the construction of a theoretical framework.3. In particular, a group conference was held periodically for researchers in the Tokyo area aiming for the construction of a curriculum that would unite science education and nature-experiential learning. Surveys were also done on practical case studies and actual curriculums employed in Costa Rica and Brazil.4. While working on research into the construction of leader-training and science education-uniting curriculums, the Research Commitee for Nature-based Experiential Learning held meetings at its convenience, continuing debate to measure the exchange and integration of research results in both groups.Conclusion : As the research results progressed, based on these four pillars, it became clear that there was high potential for making nature-based experential learning the main approach for putting into practice environmental education within the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) framework.
