本研究致力於研擬簡明清晰的架構圖，以呈現自然資源教育的教學內容、方法與目標。研究目的在於配合九年一貫新課程，協助國中小教師提昇其在自然資源教育(或環境教育)方面的教學知能。自然資源教育架構圖的研擬方式，係參考概念構圖法，以國民中小學自然資源教育概念綱領為基礎，並參酌許多其它的相關文獻資料所設計而成。由於圖本身即具較佳之視覺化效果，故本研究所完成脈絡清晰之架構圖，應容易被教師們接受，而可作為培育自然資源教學師資的參考。此外，由於架構圖涵蓋國中小自然資源教學內容、方法、目標與其間關係的全貌，所以它們可提供教師參照，使教師得以檢視評估自己所設計的教學內容、策略與目標等，在整個架構圖中所占的份量，如此，教師便可避免僅憑片面的資訊或個人記憶印象教學，而使教學成效得以獲致更大的發揮。另外，架構圖亦可提供教師在做整體自然資源教育(或環境教育)課程規劃時參考，以設計出一系列較完整周全的教學活動。

　　　　　This research is aimed to construct concise and clear diagrams, in which the teaching contents, methods and objectives of natural resources education are illustrated. The goal of this research is to help junior high and elementary school teachers enhance their competence for natural resources education (or environmental education) in the nine-year integrating curriculum. In addition to references to the method of concept mapping, the diagrams of the framework of natural resources education were designed on the basis of the outline of natural resources education which we drew up before and consulted from other materials. Since a diagram usually has better visual effects than words, the concise and clear diagrams designed in this work should easily be accepted by teachers and can be used as reference for preparing natural resources teachers. Moreover, since the diagrams in this work are inclusive of teaching contents, methods and objectives of natural resources, they can be used for comparison purpose for teachers to inspect and evaluate the amount and weight of their own design of teaching contents, strategies and objectives. In this way, teachers can obtain better teaching efforts by preventing themselves from teaching from partial information or memory. Furthermore, teachers are able to design a series of more complete teaching activities for natural resources education (or environmental education) by referring to the diagrams.
