學會簡介

  中華民國環境教育學會成立於1992年,由一群大學的教育者及在政府機構服務的環境教育工作者所發起,是重視「學理」及「實務」的一個環境教育組織。學會約有四百位成員,主要來自民間團體、學校教師、及環境教育領域的研究生。組織成立的目的在於結合各界的環境教育資源,從事環教育的研究實施,環境教育活動的發展與辦理,並與國內外環境教育組織建立合作伙伴的關係,進行資源的交流。環境教育學會每年出版兩種刊物,一為學術性的期刊,另一為實務導向的雜誌,也固定與各校環境教育研究所合辦一場實務交流與學術論文發表的研討會,以讓會員及環境教育領域的愛好者彼此交流學習。

  環境教育學會在台灣扮演著智庫的角色,也具有行動力。透過一些政府的專案,理監事及研究生協助政府規劃和執行環境教育政策與活動。環境學會近年更在環境教育法的立法不遺餘力,至今環境教育法通過,更積極協助政府部門抓住環境教育的精神來落實環境教育法。並且環境教育學會更擴大合作的對象,與其他民間團體以及企業一起合作,共同舉辦座談演講活動、規劃自然中心的營運等,讓環境教育更是一個全民教育、使環境教育成為優質的學習歷程。
 
  The Society for Environmental Education in Taiwan (SEET) was founded in 1992 by a group of educators working in universities and in the government. With about 400 members from the academia, government, and non-governmental organizations, as well as primary and secondary school teachers, and graduate students, the SEET aims to balance research and practice in the field of environmental education. The objectives of the society are to pool together resources from various sectors, to conduct research and outreach programs, and to establish cooperation and partnerships with domestic and international environmental groups in order to facilitate the flow of information and the exchange of experience. Each year the SEET publishes an academic journal and a general magazine; together with various environmental education institutes, the society holds an annual conference on both research and practice – a perfect forum for environmental educators from diverse backgrounds.
 
  In addition to its function as a think tank, the SEET also engages directly in the field of environmental education. Many of its members are involved in the planning and execution of environmental education policies and related activities through their participation in government projects. The SEET was instrumental in advocating for the Environmental Education Law, which was passed by the Legislative Yuan in May 2010. Since then the SEET has been actively involved in shaping the future implementation of the law. Lately the society has also expanded its operation. Working with corporations and other NGOs, the SEET hosts workshops and educational programs, and consults with nature centers on their operation. By bringing environmental education to the general public and providing professional training to practitioner in this field, the SEET helps raise the quality of environmental education in Taiwan.
