A Curriculum Study of Environmental Education on the Understanding of "Sustainable Society" in Social Studies from Elementary School to High School

本研究旨在通过阐述课程内容的理论和开发从小学到高中的课程来提高社会科中的环境教育。为了实现这些目的，我们：1）从环境经济学的角度展示了废弃物管理的核心概念。2）从环境经济学的角度展示了循环型社会的具体案例。3）展示了旨在理解社会研究中的循环型社会的环境教育的综合课程模式。4）5）通过设置课程，让学生认识到循环型社会是如何建立在环境经济学的基础上的。结果：（1）让学生认识到有效的废弃物管理是维持循环型社会的必要条件。（2）提炼并整理了18个基本概念和60个具体概念，以认识废物管理所注意到的环境问题。（3）揭示了所谓“下游产业”作为循环型社会的一种应用的意义和要素。（4）为学校设计了一个教学模式和教学课题，让学生了解“损害，成本，效益”和“价值，效益，剩余”的概念。（5）根据研究结果，将概念性知识分别编排为小学、初中、高中三个阶段，作为了解循环型社会的课程。

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.
