碩士 === 國立花蓮師範學院 === 鄉土文化研究所 === 91 === The main purposes of this study are to investigate the content percentage of native history, geography, nature, art, and language in the native educational textbooks of Hualien County, and to explore the earth science proportional parts of the Grade 1-9 Curriculum in the elementary textbooks. As a result, pictures describing the native geography are very important characteristics in the textbooks of the third and forth grades, but the figures and photos captions are not clear enough to reader. In addition, the topics in the textbooks intensively emphasize local industries and traffic network as well as foresight in the future. Unfortunately, issues of industrial pollutions were not been discussed in the textbooks, except Hsulin, Shoufeng, Wanrung, and Juoshi. On the basis of this study, the native educational textbooks of Hualien are the beginning for the teachers to edit the textbooks by themselves. Those native educational textbooks provide excellent opportunities for students to learn from the life. Additionally, unique geological background of Hualien and interactions between humanity and environment constitute the main proportions of the textbooks that are coincident with the spirit of native education. There are two suggestions proposed by the analyses of textbooks in this study. One is the preventions for natural hazards and environmental management policies that are crucial to increment into the contents of textbooks. The other is that the activities design of a single topic has got to consolidate for integration in the learning areas of the Grade 1-9 Curriculum.
