Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 環境教育研究所 === 104 === This is a research of my life experience about learning and practice in nature as an interpreter and writer. It also represents the path with all my foot prints to nature.
The research is written in the way of self-narrative. It traces my learning experiences in nature from childhood, border-crossing from an engineer to an interpreter and writer, and the transformation course of spreading out a lot of learning and participating. It makes a thorough inquiry for the calling leads me to environmental education and the meanings of my experiences and practices. It’s like a long hiking through the mist and toward the big mountain in my heart.
This research founds the calling come from the experiences I immersed in nature, the aesthetics in the wild, and the ultimate concern. The practices cross the border of non-formal education, informal education and formal education. The learning process of an educator is basically a time-lasting and sophisticate interaction course of experiences.
This research also offers a rarely-seen view point of parents participating school education, exposes the real problems in school education. Although there’s no funds and resourse, participating actions are launched with parents, teachers, children for school habitat-creation, mainting, problem-solving, environmental education practicing. The learning-by-doing action course is participators’ learning course, and enhance their sense of place, the sense of power and confidence.
This research also represents a border-crossing journey. I expect everyone and I being a gear keeping on turning, and driving other people with similar value and beliefs.
Writing is a tool recording experience, reflection, representing experience, linking up the all. It also plays the function of propogation.
Finally, this study offers inspiration and suggfestions for interpreters and environmental educators, school education, parents, the value of family education and life education, constantly practice from the nearby places.
provides suggestions for further studies in the future.
