碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 水土保持學系所 === 103 === Soil and water conservation outdoor classroom is an education site with the function of recreation and learning. The outdoor classroom itself can be expected as a role of integrated the learning and recreation in nature. However, contents of classroom’s website are not usually satisfying needs of students and/or teachers who are interesting in environmental education, and are going to limit the development efficiency in promoting the environmental education. Since, how to improve the quality and quantity of the web-site resources are essential. Taichung Wu Chuan Junior High School and Soil and Water Conservation Outdoor Classroom in Dongshih Forestry Recreation Park were selected as study sites. The Likert Scale is adopted in the questionnaires, and the students studying in Wu Chuan Junior High School were sampled to explore the importance of the eight management characteristics regarding the outdoor classroom. Results of the Likert Scale coupled with weighted analysis of the website to quantity the content items for examing the items whether bias or not, and then SWOT analysis was applied to understand the issues and provide some improvement suggestions from the view points of teaching program design, which are focusing on the eight management characteristics of the outdoor classroom. With the baseline of equilibrium standard 100% to assess the content items’ diversity of the website, only the website design item derived from the government, and the items (website design and teaching facilities introduction) extracted from the Dongshih Forestry Recreation Park reached the standard. Under such situation of most management characteristics didn’t reach the standard, the website resources show limited attraction and will cause psychological effects for the student users. In addition, the lack of website resources in guide interpretation, experienced curriculum and small activity program will result in a serious effect for the teaching preparedness. Item equilibrium and resource abundance of the website regarding soil and water conservation website are strongly suggested to improve for better teaching efficiency.
