Integrated and systematic curriculum formation and teaching material development in environmental education for primary and secondary school education

假设环境教育在整合学习的课堂上密集进行，我们的目的是开发一套完整而系统的环境教育课程，以及主要在北海道地区的中小学教育的主要教材和教学方法。1997年，我们修改了自然班现有的环境教育课程，并进一步开发了获取环境教育基本知识的教材。我们准备了以下文本。环境伦理和环境教育史、保护生物多样性和自然、食物链。综合学习和环境教育、食品添加剂、流冰与气候、水循环、森林生态和分类学。农业和农用化学品。标题北海道地形地理、植物分类与自然保护。教材的应用和未来的规划：本项目开发的教材已在亲子自然课堂中使用。综合学习的应用将从本学年开始。然而，在实际教学中，开展这方面的环境教育的需求似乎并不那么强烈。首席调查员将修改后的教材应用于他1999年和2000年任教的Tochigi初级学院的“自然与环境I和II”课程--。I级的注册人数为250人，II级的注册人数为40人。自然与环境II课程要求在北海道进行为期6天的实地考察。由于大学生在高中学习中几乎没有学习过相关学科，这种课程似乎吸引了他们的兴趣。目前正在考虑出版一本教科书。此外，涵盖1050种野生植物的北海道野生植物野外手册将于6月出版。这本书中使用的视觉材料中约有70%是由于这项研究的结果。

Assuming that environmental education is intensively carried out in the class of integrated learning, our purpose was to develop an integrated and systematic curriculum of environmental education and main teaching materials as well as teaching methods in primary and secondary education mainly in Hokkaido district. In 1997 we modified the existing curriculum of environmental education in the class of nature and further developed teaching materials for acquiring fundamental knowledge of environmental education. We prepared the following texts. Environmental ethics and the history of environmental education, Protection of biodiversity and nature, Food chains. Integrated learning and environmental education, Food additives, Drifting ice and climate, Water cycle, Forest ecology and taxonomy. Agriculture and agrochemicals. Topography and geography of Hokkaido, Plant taxonomy and nature consevation. Application of the teaching materials and plans for the future : The teaching materials developed in this project have been utilized in parents-children classrooms of nature. Application to integrated learning will start from this academic year. However, in actual teaching the demand for carrying out environmental education along this line does not seem so intense. The head investigator applied the teaching materials with modification to the classes of "Nature and Environment I and II^* at Tochigi Junior College where he teaches in 1999 and 2000-. The enrolment for I was 250 and for II 40. The class of Nature and Environment II requires 6 days field work in Hokkaido. Since college students have hardly learned related subjects in their high school studies, this kind of classes seems to attract their interests. At present publication of a text book is in consideration. In addition, a field manual of wild plants in Hokkaido which covers 1050 species is to be published in June. About 70% of the visual materials used in this book is due to the result of this study.
