Abstract: | 自2015年聯合國推出永續發展目標(SDGs)以來,環境教育(EE)得到廣泛實施,旨在提高一般大眾的環境知識,進而改變人們對環境的影響。然而,儘管一般大眾的環境知識有所提升,環境教育在實質上改變人們行為方面尚未取得顯著成效。
因此,本研究著重於探討動物園作為發展基於培養友善環境行為的環境教育的場所。與強調知識傳遞的傳統教育不同,動物園可以有彈性地超越單純的知識傳遞,喚起人們的感官、創造力和同理心,從而改變行為。 具體而言,本研究旨在研究動物園的進步程度,以及它們試圖超越科學知識傳遞,並改變人們行為的程度。為達到此目的,選擇來自世界不同地區的兩個先進動物園:(1)法國的Beauval動物園和(2)臺灣的臺北市立動物園。藉由參觀這兩個動物園、與工作人員進行訪談以及分析其教育標誌和活動,以了解動物園的教育理念,以及有可能促進人們行為改變的策略。 研究結果顯示,這兩個動物園都認可在環境教育中融入行為學方法的重要性,並已將其納入教育方法中。它們採用的策略與傳統動物園有所不同,且超越知識傳遞的範疇。本研究還指出,這兩個機構在建立教育方式上存在相似之處,但也在人與動物關係以及等級制度等教育方面存在分岐。 因此,我們認為動物園可以對創新教育有所貢獻,這種創新教育能夠促進友善環境行為,並且將影響遊客心態和行為的因素納入教育策略的考量。本文的文獻回顧顯示,這樣的方法在正規教育中尚未得到充分採用。此外,之前很少有研究涉及這一點,這是本研究的主要創新之處。透過傳播研究結果,本研究有助於人們改變行為,減少人類社會對環境的影響。這不僅是對於環境教育,於永續發展領域皆為重要的一環。 Since the launch of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations in 2015, Environmental Education (EE) has been widely implemented to improve Environmental Knowledge of the ordinary public and eventually change people’s behaviors for a decline in human environmental impacts. However, EE has yet to be successful in changing human’s behaviors substantively despite the apparent improvement in Environmental Knowledge of the ordinary public. Consequently, this research highlights zoos as a place for developing an EE based on developing Pro-Environmental Behaviors. Unlike formal education where knowledge transfer is strongly emphasized, zoos potentially have the flexibility to go beyond mere knowledge transfer and stimulate people’s senses, creativity, and empathy for behavioral changes. Specifically, this research aims to investigate how progressive zoos are, and to what extent they are trying to go beyond scientific knowledge transfer and alter people’s behaviors. To do so, two progressive zoos from different regions of the world were chosen: (1) Beauval Zoo (France), and (2) Taipei Zoo (Taiwan, R.O.C). The two places were analyzed through visits of the two zoos, interviews with staff members, and analysis of their educational signs and activities to identify the zoos’ educational philosophies and strategies that potentially promote people’s behavioral change. The results of this research have shown that the two zoos recognize the importance of incorporating a Behavioral Approach in EE and have already used it for their own educational methods. They both adopted strategies that differ from the traditional zoos but also go beyond knowledge transfer. This research also demonstrates that the two institutions have similarities in the ways they build their education; however, they also have diverging points on educational aspects such as human-animal relationships and hierarchy. We thus argue that zoos can significantly contribute to offering an innovative education that would promote Pro-Environmental Behaviors and be shaped by taking into consideration the factors that influence visitors’ mindsets and actions. The literature review of this thesis is showing that such methods have not been sufficiently adopted in formal education. Additionally, very few previous studies have addressed this point, which is a major novelty of this research. Through disseminating the findings, this study contributes to people’s behavioral change for reducing environmental impacts by human society. This is a critical component not only in EE but in the field of sustainability. |
