| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 科學教育研究所 === 98 === This study aimed at probing the cognition, attitudes and actions of junior high schools teachers in Kaohsiung and Hualien area toward the issue of “energy-saving and carbon-reducing”. This research also analyzes the attribution of pro and con’s decision of actions to energy saving and carbon-reducing, and finally analyzes the point of junior high schools teachers from Socioscientific Issues towards to energy saving and carbon-reducing. In order to achieve these goals, a questionnaire was developed on the basis of the theoretical framework from documentary materials and literature review. Then the questionnaire was distributed to teachers of junior high school in Kaohsiung and Hualien area, 207 valid samples out of 246 were collected. The conclusions drawn from statistic findings are listed as follows:
1.Most teachers of junior high schools had no good enough cognition toward “energy-saving and carbon-reducing”. And there was significant difference in the cognition toward “energy-saving and carbon-reducing” in terms of teachers’ different personal backgrounds.
2.Most teachers of junior high schools held positive attitudes toward “energy-saving and carbon-reducing”. And there was significant difference in the attitudes toward “energy-saving and carbon-reducing” in terms of teachers’ different personal backgrounds.
3.In the self-evaluation of efficiency of “energy-saving and carbon-reducing”, about 60 percent teachers’ execution rate is under 60%. And there was significant difference in the actions toward “energy-saving and carbon-reducing” in terms of teachers’ different personal backgrounds.
4.The attribution of positive decision-making observed by the teachers of junior high school is the emphasis of the natural environment, the attribution of negative decision-making is that it cost more to buy the energy-saving products.
5.By the Attribution theory of Weiner, we may conclude that the future we promote “energy-saving and carbon-reducing” still have a little problems to solve.
6.More teachers of junior high school consider more important of the natural environmental protection than the economic development.
Finally, based on the findings, three suggestions were provided for government, teachers and for those researchers who would be interested in this field were proposed for reference.
