The purpose of this study was to develop a endangered species documentary - based environment education program and to apply it to the actual class for elementary school sixth graders. Therefore, I tried to examine the effect of endangered species documentary-based classes on environmental sensitivity of elementary school students.
In order to accomplish the purpose of the study, we selected documentaries that correspond to nature / ecology of EBS DocuPrime. And we developed the environmental education program based on the editing and reconstruction of the documentary considering the development stage and the learning level of the 6th grade elementary school students. The developed program was applied to the one class of sixth grade of elementary school in Icheon city for 10 weeks, and the other class was not used.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the Korean endangered species documentary based classes on the environmental sensitivity. Quantitative analysis of the study was performed using the SPSS 22.0 program. The questionnaire was developed by Kim Ji-yeon (2016) based on the research of Lee Jae-bung and Lee Du-gon(2006).
The conclusions of this study are as follows.
First, the endangered species documentary based classes tend to have a positive impact on environmental sensitivity. Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed a larger increase in the pre - and post - environmental sensitivity.
Second, the endangered species documentary based classes positively affected environmental degradation and environmental pollution. As a result of covariance analysis for each area, there were statistically significant differences in environmental destruction and environmental pollution.
In conclusion, the endangered species documentary based classes is effective in promoting environmental sensitivity of sixth grade elementary school. Therefore, the systematic application of the endangered species documentary based instruction in elementary school and the follow - up study are needed.
