| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 環境教育研究所 === 97 === This study explored student attitudes toward the grey-faced buzzard eagle and their conceptions of ecological conservation through writing analysis. The content analysis was applied, whereby purposive random sampling was conducted among the 3rd to 9th graders in elementary and secondary schools in Manjhou Township of Pingtung County. The analysis of the students’ writings about what they had learned about the grey-faced buzzard eagle, a migratory bird of the Manjhou Township of Pingtung, demonstrated the students’ conservation concepts and their viewpoints of the grey-faced buzzard eagle. A total of 245 essays were completed through writing analysis in this study.
The results indicated that student viewpoints of the grey-faced buzzard eagle for conservation concepts reflected positive thinking about conservation education. Students stated that they cherished the grey-faced buzzard eagle as a natural resource to be developed for eco-tourism. Results also showed that students have developed an awareness of the richness of the environmental value. Most of students understood that the main factors threatening the populations of grey-faced buzzard eagle are devastation of habitat and hunting. With this conservation point of view, students believed that Manjhou is the homeland for grey-faced buzzard eagle. This belief would form as the new culture and the symbol of spirit in that area. Some suggestions for further research and implementation of conservation education are proposed.
