從不同宗教角度實踐「環境生態學」意識於幼教課程及教學法上之初探

本篇文章討論幼兒教育課程及教學法、宗教及環境生態學三者的關係，屬一種科際整合的反省。文章提醒我們，要對幼兒作環境倫理教育，必須先弄清其宗教前設，否則，學到的環境倫理，可能與其宗教不協調。對師資培訓而言，這是重要的提醒。文章以課程例子說明不同宗教對環境倫理教學的不同施行方法及重點。
This paper attempts to investigate the holistic relationship between religions, environmental ecology and early childhood curriculum and pedagogy. The paper reminds us that prior to the teaching of environmental ethics to young children, early childhood practitioners should have a clear view of religious pivotal stance of the school; if not, the environmental ethics that the students acquire may be inconsistent with the religious ideological stance of the school. Hence, early childhood practitioners should be well alert of this fact. To teacher training, this is an important message. The paper uses examples to illustrate different teaching methods and emphasis of different religions to the application of environmental ecology. Copyright © 2008 The Hong Kong Institute of Education.
