The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in geological contents knowledge and self-confidence before and after the geological field trips. Fifty seven undergraduate students at a national university of education participated in this study. The questionnaires were developed by the researcher to serve the purpose. Findings were as follows. First, before and after the geological field trip, there was no significant difference in changes of geological content knowledge (p<.05). However, participants' self-confidence about the geological field trip changed significantly (p<.01). Second, there were no significant differences in changes of both variables in terms of gender (p<.05). And in this study, participants were grouped into two: science track that selected science areas and non-science track with social study selected in the college scholastic ability test. There were also no significant differences in changes of geological contents knowledge and self-confidence in terms of science or non-science track (p<.05). Third, in terms of the geological content knowledge, 24 pre-service teachers showed an increase, 12 students unchanged, and the 21 participants decreased. In contrast, per participants' self-confidence about the geological field trip, fifty three students indicated an increase with only one participant unchanged, and three preservice teachers decreased on the score. Finally, after the geological field trip, participants' comments indicated that they could feel the mystery of nature with the mind of a great experience. As a result, data showed that pre-service teachers became interested in geology, and motivated more in learning geological area than ever.

The purpose of this study is to find out learning content for astronomical observation that could perform astronomical programs regardless of weather conditions as a case for the present conditions of astronomical observation and the methods of new education for astronomical observation, and to suggest the methods of synchronized multiple astronomical observation and actual cases using the Internet network. The results are as follows. First, the method of galaxy-oriented astronomical education helped those attempting to approach astronomy academically for the first time grasp useful concepts as to the astronomical space, and let them look at the space in an objective sense, which was effective in forming cosmic structure and concepts. Second, the administration curriculum of astronomical observation team was related to data that systematically contained annual astronomical education concerning the operation of astronomical observation teams; thus, they could be suggested as beneficial teaching materials to the teachers who wanted to organize a school club meeting. Third, it has been noted that the level of students' satisfaction in p2d program and MSO program was very high, and they turned out to be effective learning methods that could be implemented even in times of rain when it would not be possible to conduct astronomical observation activities.

This study was planned to define the concept and the patterns of the fields for environmental education through the theory review about the fields for environmental education that were important at school environmental education for field-experience learning, and to survey the using status of the fields for environmental education and the awareness of teachers who have been teaching practically students environmental education in school through the questionnaire. The results derived from this study were as follows ; First, the use of the fields for environmental education in environmental education is necessary aspect of the importance of field-experience learning and the environmental education strategy through personalization of environment and is essential to the substantiality of school environmental education. The concept of the fields for environmental education is defined that it is used as place(space) for environmental education, is located most outdoor space, promote students the concern and consciousness about environment. The patterns of the fields for environmental education may be classified the field for nature observation learning surrounding, the fields for nature observation and field survey, the fields for visit and field trip, and the fields for experience and participation by the contents and the purpose of educational program. Second, according to the results of the teacher's awareness survey, most responded teachers gave an affirmative answer about the necessity of practical use of the fields for environmental education, and it was used mainly in special lecture, weekend, and legal holiday. Also, it was surveyed that time for using the fields was brought as the most serious obstacle by teachers. In particular, teachers preferred the environmental education fields for experience and participation above all others. Third, from the results about the using status of the fields for environmental education, school environmental education mostly have been taught in indoor classroom, school landscape(school grounds) was evaluated the most easily useful the fields for environmental education in formal lecture, because it can solve the lack of time. Also, it was proved that eco-park, stream, and river were fit for the field-experience learning with small students group.

The purpose of the present study is to develop ecological experience learning program for the wetland so that elementary school students can recognize the significance and values of wetland and have the attitudes to protect it through their ecological experience learning, and investigate changes in elementary school students' perception for wetland. The experimental class was composed of 26 elementary school students and took the ecological experience learning. The comparison class was also composed of 26 students who took theoretical learning for wetland. It was found that knowledge and attitudes for wetland of the experimental class were significantly high not only in the knowledge area but also in the affective area than those of the comparison class. And it was found that interest and curiosity into wetland were elevated also in the results of the qualitative evaluation, suggesting that we could get the effect of ecological experience learning. Therefore, it is thought that above all, more experience learning programs for wetland are needed to develop for elementary school students' right view of nature and minds to love it by continuously finding and providing materials of experience learning like those of this research in the future.

본 연구는 선운산도립공원 탐방객 290명을 설문조사하여, 탐방객들의 공원이용 특성을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 도립공원관리를 위한 시사점을 도출하기 위해 수행되었다. 탐방객 설문은 응답자의 사회경제적 특성, 선운산도립공원 이용 특성, 방문 동기, 공원 탐방 만족도에 관한 문항들로 구성하였다. 조사 결과 탐방객들은 공원 방문 전 공원에 관한 정보 수집을 하지 않는 경우가 많았고, 선운산도립공원과 주변 관광지를 연계해서 여행하는 경우도 많지 않았으며, 고창 생물권보전지역에 대한 인지도 또한 크지 않아, 공원관리 주체인 고창군의 적극적 홍보가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 응답자들의 16개 방문 동기를 요인분석한 결과, 선운산도립공원 탐방객들의 방문 요인은 '고지대 등산형', 자연학습이나 캠핑 등을 위한 '체험 관찰형', 가족이나 친구와의 '친목 도모형'으로 요약할 수 있었다. 공원 방문 목적에 따른 공원 이용 만족도를 살펴보기 위해, 요인분석에서 추출한 세 가지 방문 요인과 응답자의 사회경제적 특성 변수들을 독립변수로 하고 다른 사람에게 선운산도립공원 방문을 추천하는 정도를 종속변수로 하는 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 3가지 방문 요인 중 '고지대 등산형' 요인만이 방문 추천 의사에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 주었고, 다른 요인은 영향이 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 선운산도립공원이 등산객들에게만 만족스러운 경험을 제공할 뿐, 점차 증가하고 있는 체험 관찰형 탐방객 수요에 대응하지 못하고 있다는 의미로 해석될 수 있다. 환경해설과 같은 참여형 프로그램 개발이 요구된다.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 생태숲조성 기본계획 수립의 실태를 파악하고, 문제점 및 개선방향을 제시 하였다. 우리나라 생태숲조성 계획의 제한요소로는 입지여건, 지형적 측면, 기존식생 등의 문제가 높은 빈도로 나타났다. 토지이용현황은 사유지의 평균 비율이 29.7% 이었으나 실질적인 사업비의 투자는 되지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 도입빈도가 높은 시설은 기반시설, 건축시설, 휴게시설, 편익시설, 안내시설 등 이었으며, 도입빈도가 낮은 시설은 식물재배시설, 생태시설, 상징시설 등으로 나타났다. 식물 종 보유현황은 500종류 이상을 보유한 곳이 1개소이었고, 산림청이 제시한 생태숲조성 기준의 식물종다양성 기준 이하는 11개소 이었다. 사업비는 시설투자비가 식재비보다 매우 높았으며, 후기투자사업비 보다 초기투자사업비 월등히 많았고, 조성 이후의 유지관리에 대한 예산 계획 수립이 거의 없었다. 산림청이 제시한 생태숲조성의 기본 개념은 충실하게 계획 하고 있었으나 세부적인 도입 계획에서는 이용자 중심 위주로 계획 되어져 생태숲조성 기본 취지에 어긋나고 있었다. 이러한 현상은 생태숲조성을 주관하는 지방자치단체가 사업추진을 위한 과정에서는 산림청이 제시한 내용을 제안하고, 사업이 확정된 이후에는 산림청이 제시한 내용을 대부분 무시하여 전시효과를 위한 생태숲조성 방식으로 변화하기 때문이다. 산림청에서 제시하는 생태숲조성을 위해서는 산림청의 감독이 강화되어야 하고, 지방 자치 단체장, 감독부서, 계획 및 설계자 등 담당자들이 생태숲에 대한 명확한 개념 정립을 하여야 할 것이다.
