自1972年聯合國通過《斯德哥爾摩宣言》以來，各國紛紛將環境永續納入國家政策。然而，最新科學證據顯示，人類對環境永續的努力遠不及破壞速度。為解決幼兒園教師在進行環境教育課程中所面臨的阻礙，本研究以鳥類為主題，開發了一款幼兒環境教育教具。主要研究目的包括：(1)了解幼兒園實施環境教育的現況；(2)探討本套教具是否適合作為幼兒環境教育的媒介；(3)評估幼兒的遊戲學習成效；以及(4)了解幼兒和教師對教具的評價與建議。
本研究的研究對象包含30位幼兒和35位教師，主要採用設計研究法（Design Research），過程分為準備、執行和評鑑三個階段。研究結果顯示，多數教師認同幼兒環境教育的重要性，並認為以鳥類作為主題是合適的。整體而言，本套教具適合作為幼兒環境教育的媒介，唯部分細節仍有待改良。在遊戲學習成效方面，幼兒的環境知識有所提升，環境態度則無顯著改變，因多數幼兒原先已具備對環境友善的態度，遊戲後其環境態度仍維持友善。根據結果，本套教具的設計和遊戲方式得到肯定，也獲得許多改良建議。最後，本研究提出對未來研究的建議，包括：擴大研究範圍與規模，以及邀請教師實際應用教具進行課程，並蒐集縱貫研究資料等。

Since the United Nations adopted the Stockholm Declaration in 1972, sustainable development has been integrated into national policies worldwide. However, scientific evidence shows that efforts towards sustainable development lag the rate of environmental degradation. This study developed environmental education learning materials on birds for 4- to 6-year-old children to address challenges faced by preschool and kindergarten teachers. The main objectives were to: (1) understand the current state of environmental education in preschools and kindergartens; (2) assess the suitability of these materials; (3) evaluate children's learning outcomes after play; and (4) gather feedback from children and teachers.
The study involved 30 children and 35 teachers, using a design research methodology divided into preparation, implementation, and evaluation phases. Results showed teachers valued early childhood environmental education and found birds a suitable theme. The learning materials were appropriate but needed some improvements. Children’s environmental knowledge improved, while their attitudes remained friendly, as they already had positive attitudes towards the environment. The design and gameplay of the materials were well-received, with suggestions for enhancement. Recommendations for future research include expanding the scope of the study, involving teachers more deeply, and collecting longitudinal data.
