Earth ecosystem and environment have been seriously damaged and polluted due to explosive increase in population, development in science and technology, development of high-tech industry, and side-effects of economic growth. Destruction of natural resources, pollution of water, air, earth and sea may not only result in extinction of animals and plants but also threaten the health and existence of human.
These environmental problems are not related to only one area, but deeply related to wrong awareness and value system of human as well as complicated issues.
In this regard, it is urgently required to perform systematic and effective environmental education which can help student have correct concept and value system on the environment and the protection of earth and internalize such correct value system. Despite this, the importance of environmental education is not strongly positioned in Korea and the environment class just remains as elective course probably due to examination oriented education system. This also resulted in inactive environmental education in school and inactive research and development on the learning materials for environment class.
Assuming that it is possible to make student have correct awareness on environment and internalize this value system in their daily life through education, this thesis will analyze the contents of class focusing on "ecosystem and environment" for the 7th high school curriculum. In particular, this thesis aims to enhance the interest of students in the environment and to encourage them to actively participate in this area, using the advanced multimedia-based equipment and html materials for rich texts, explanation, photo, moving animation, reference and exercise targeting two lessons "Environmental pollution problem" and "Earth environmental problem and proper measures".
As plans to utilize these materials ;
First, it can arouse the interest of students by using new type of multimedia, which can be utilized by students any time if they want.
Second, students can easily find information they need with a click of mouse.
Third, Anyone can use this by connecting to Internet.
Fourth, it can raise the interest level of students since it enables self-leading environment class by implementing the classes using Internet.
For effective environmental education, it is more necessary to develop effective teaching-learning materials to cope with the changes of the times and to arouse the interest of students, rather than adopting conventional lecturer-oriented class.
