| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 環境與文化資源學系所 === 105 === The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of natural experience on adolescents' academic achievement, physical fitness and environmental attitudes, and further analyze their relationship. The data of this study was collected from 7th grade and 8th grade students in Hsinchu City. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the two-stage methods of stratified and purposive sampling. The effective rate of questionnaires was up to 91% from a total of 550 questionnaires, which were proceed to descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, regression analysis and independent sample t-test on SPSS 19.0 statistical software.
The results of this study were as follows:
1. Natural experience attitudes have significantly positive effects on the academic achievement of the subject of "Chinese", "English", "Mathematics" and "Social Studies." The outcome shows that the natural experience of young people, in the context of multiple learning, interdisciplinary learning and active teaching, is closely related with subjects.
2. Natural experience attitudes have a significant impact on adolescents' physical fitness, which means that adolescents acquire better physical performances through their interaction with nature or activities in nature.
3. Natural experience attitudes have a great influence on environmental attitudes, including "environmental awareness" and "control of nature." In other words, young people make better environmental understanding and awareness in the process of their natural experience.
4. Natural experience behaviors have a significant effect on adolescents’ "physical fitness," indicating that the more natural experience young people experience, the better physical state they will have, which further reflect in the performance of physical fitness.
5. Academic achievement and physical fitness are presently highly correlated. In addition to academic performance, adolescents also pay attention on their own physical activities. Adequate physical activities can promote metabolism, so that their thinking of brain is clearer and the effects of learning are better. There was no significant correlation between physical fitness and environmental attitudes. Academic achievement and environmental attitudes are presently highly correlated. The result shows that environmental attitudes are associated with subjects underlying multiple learning, interdisciplinary learning and active teaching. Finally, based on the results of the study, suggestions are provided for educational authorities, school teachers, and future researchers as reference.
