碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 環境生態研究所碩士班 === 99 === The goals of this research are to discuss different situations of elementary school teachers’ cognition and attitude toward energy saving and carbon reduction in Tainan City due to background differences as well as their correlation analyses. Four dimensions of energy saving and carbon reduction based on National Science Council project in 2009, called Energy Sources National Personnel Training Freedom-Oriented Integrated Project, taking E-STS, Ecology-Society-Technology-Science, as development mode and to promote the research of energy saving and carbon reduction education are “Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development”, “Green Energy”, “Green Products” and “Green Living.” Questionnaire survey procedure was applied to this research, and questionnaires developed by Jia-Xuan Hu, Dong-Yi Zheng, Zong-Lai Li and Yu-Jing Hong was quoted as research tools which aimed at elementary school teachers in Tainan City to carry out investigation and analysis. The results of this research are summarized as follows: 1. The level of elementary school teachers’ cognition toward energy saving and carbon reduction was acceptable, and the level of their attitude toward energy saving and carbon reduction was active and positive. 2. Due to the teachers of different background variables in the aspect of energy saving and carbon reduction cognition, there are obvious differences in the items of genders in “Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development”and“Green Energy,”ages in “Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development”, “Green Energy” and “Green Products,” teacher subject in“Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development”, “Green Energy” and “Green Products.” Nevertheless, there are no obvious differences in others. 3. Due to the teachers of different background variables in the aspect of energy saving and carbon reduction attitude, there are obvious differences in the two items of genders in “Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development”,“Green Energy” and “Green Products,”ages in “Green Energy”,“Green Products” and “Green Living,”education level in “Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development,” graduation (or study) departments in“Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development”,“Green Products” and “Green Living,”teacher subject in “Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development”and “Green Products,”in whom has ever or not participated in environmental education activities in “Green Living.” Nevertheless, there are no obvious differences in others. 4. In the aspect of the correlation between cognition and attitude of energy saving and carbon reduction, the overall cognition and attitude of “Environmental Shocks and Sustainable Development”, “Green Energy” and“Green Living”all have not reached obvious weakly positive correlation, but the overall cognition and attitude of “Green Products” have reached low positive correlation. Finally, the research was analyzed and discussed based on the research results, and provides researcher’s personal tiny view to be reference of related units and future researchers.
