本研究採用觀察研究法之參與觀察(participant observation)，探討網際網路及電子佈告欄系統環境討論區應用情形。利用電子佈告欄系統的討論區投票功能進行調查研究法之問卷調查(questionnairesurvey)，以瞭解環境討論區使用者之背景、使用方式及對環境議題之意見部分。

　　本研究重要結果有：一、關心環境的網際網路使用者數量多，網際網路是輔助環境教育推行的可行管道。二、大學之電子佈告欄系統使用族群以大學生為主，可輔助對大學生等學生之環境教育推行，更可能隨網際網路使用者族群的擴大而有更大的影響範圍。三、環境討論區使用者的環境知識主要來源除了「報章雜誌書刊」及「廣播電視」，此外以「網際網路」為環境知識來源的比例亦相當高，網際網路是輔助環境知識傳播的可行管道。四、電子佈告欄系統之投票功能，可利用於有限族群的意見調查。五、電子佈告欄系統環境討論區中環境教育進行方式有環境議題討論、環境問題請教、環境行動發起、環境活動宣導及生活環保實踐等方式。六、目前，電子佈告欄系統之環境議題討論中尚缺乏學者專家之參與。

　　研究中進一步彙整調查分析結果，綜合我國政府現行環境保護與環境教育政策，並參考國內環境教育相關研究，歸納探討我國應用網際網路推行環境教育所可能面薑局疰D，包涵：一、充實及彙整網際網路上環境教育資訊，建立環境教育資訊中心，以供環境教育參與者查詢及交換訊息，有效將資訊運用於環境教育工作上。二、電子佈告欄系統可應用於環境教育，進行環保議題的討論與環境理念的宣導，為具經濟價值且效果良好的工具，值得廣泛推廣與應用。三、應用網際網路推行環境教育應結合環境教育各級參與者。四、普及各級學校網際網路建設，並增進師生使用網路的能力，以利網際網路環境教育之推動。並提出可能因應的參考建議，以為今後台灣地區應用網際網路推行環境教育之參考。

　　對於網際網路所串聯起來的世界最大資料庫而言，本研究只能以電子佈告欄系統應用的方向，初步瞭解我國網際網路上推行環境教育的情況及展望。 隨著網際網路的蓬勃發展，應用網路的管道推動環境教育是非常可行的。環境教育參與者可充分運用現有網際網路上的建設，進行方式有極多樣性的可能，應用上更具相當彈性。後續研究可對環境教育推動模式進行深入探討，如環境理念的宣導方式、環保議題討論的進行及其他網際網路服務資源應用方式等。

Abstract

Recently environmental education has grown its importance graduallyin Taiwan, meanwhile the rising and thriving appliance of Internetin different fields is getting more popular also. The associationof environmental education and Internet has been worked for yearsabroad, but still lacks for systematic research in Taiwan. Thus,the purpose of this research is to (1) correspond to governmentenvironmental protection and environmental education policy tosee the useful resources, possible methods, and restricts whencarrying out environmental education in Internet, (2) try to findout Environmental Discussion Board (EDB)`s environmental educationmethods, user backgrounds, using methods, and opinions towardenvironmental issues through Bulletin Board System (BBS) in TANet, and (3) set up subjects for environmental education appliancein Internet and possible suggestions.

The research takes participant observation of Observation ResearchMethod to survey the utilization of Internet and EDB in BBS. Onthe other hand, taking voting function in BBS`s EDB to carry onSurvey Research`s questionnaire survey to figure out users` backgrounds,using methods, and opinions toward environmental issues in EDB.

Main research conclusions are: (1) Persons who concern about environmentin Internet are many; Internet is a workable assistant accessfor environmental education movement. (2) Major users in university`sBBS are college students, thus Internet could be an assistantof environmental education movement toward college students andhas a more likely wide-effect whenever user members is gettinglarge. (3) Main sources of EDB users` knowledge for environmentare from newspapers, books, or mass media. However, the percentageof getting environmental information from Internet is high also,which proves Internet could be an useful assistant for environmentalknowledge teaching. (4) Voting function in BBS could be used forquestionnaire survey of certain groups. (5) Current environmentaleducation methods in BBS`s EDB are environmental issue discussion,environmental question consultation, environmental movement initiation,environmental movement propaganda, environment protection practicein daily life, and etc. (6) Present environmental issue discussionin BBS is still short of experts` participation.

After referring to the present environmental protection and educationpolicy of government and internal related environmental educationresearch, subjects might be faced when executing environmentaleducation in Internet including: (1) Enrich, reorganize environmentaleducation information in Internet and establish environmentaleducation source center for users` consultation and informationexchange. (2) BBS system could be a successful tool in applyingto environmental education for environment protection issue discussionand environmental concept propaganda. It has both economical,effective function that is worthy of wide-promotion and appliance.(3) Popularize school`s Internet infrastructure and improve teachersand students` operation ability to successfully complete environmentaleducation movement in Internet. And bring the possible suggestionfor the reference of later environmental education movement inInternet.

For the worldwide biggest data base connected through Interent,this research only uses BBS system to preliminarily understandthe condition and prospect of environmental education movementin Internet. With the daily flourishing of Internet, applyingInternet in environmental education will grow its importance andturn out to be a critical access. Through users` workful operationin Internet, environmental education could be executed in varietyand be more flexible in appliance. Further research could hasa further survey toward the method of environmental educationmovement, such as environmental concept, the movement of environmentalconcept issue discussion, other Internet service appliance method,and etc.

謝　辭

　　本文承蒙指導教授汪靜明所長在所務繁忙之餘，仍焚膏繼晷地諄諄指導學生，並給與學生最大的發揮空間。除了在研究方法、理論架構和研究經驗上的啟迪和傳授，以身做則地在為人處事方面的悉心教誨，更是深覺獲益良多。在此謹致上最誠摯的謝意。

　　此外，所內師長們，在百忙之中撥冗指正論文，並提供寶貴的修訂意見及精神上的鼓勵。同時，同學們的熱情關懷，以及學弟妹的全力協助，在此一併致謝。謹感謝文楷、如方在論文研究工作上提供建議及協助；文源、安珍、杰沛在研究室工作上分擔與幫助。此外，父母和家人在精神上的支持與鼓勵，乃是論文能完成的精神支持。

　　有幸在臺灣師範大學的豐富學術研究及人文精神的校園中，應用師大建全校園網路設施，探索台灣學術網路的諸項資源，瞭解網際網路浩翰世界的一角，並得以藉此進行環境教育的推動。同時，在網際網路上也受到許多網友的協助，或許只是一個代號、電子信箱地址，也可能只是一些隻字片語，從網路稍來的資料及鼓勵，都直接或間接促成本研究的完成。實在不知如何去感謝他們，只能繼續在網際網路貢獻自己些許的知識及熱心，以回饋網路社會的幫助。

　　兩年的研究生生活終將結束，點滴回憶細細記下。走出校園，未來又將是新的開始與挑戰，期望自己能回饋社會家國的培育。願在此藉著論文一隅，感謝所有曾幫助過我的師長、朋友及家人。
