T1 - The development of performance evaluation for green schools in Taiwan
AU - Wang, Shun-Mei
N1 - Funding Information:
In spite of its popularity, there has been little evaluation of the GPPT project. With the consideration of budget and educational effectiveness, the Ministry of Education and National Science Council in Taiwan have pushed for the development of an environmental education indicator system since 2001, and were especially interested in an evaluation of the successful GPPT. The green school mission had been actively pursued for six years, but there were no preferred guidelines for the whole-school approach. Some primary-school principals felt environmental education in schools was sporadic, and they asked for a well-organized set of guidelines as reference. Therefore, the researcher constructed green school indicators and developed the evaluation instrument presented in this article.

N2 - The purpose of this research is to develop a performance evaluation instrument for green schools in Taiwan. The instrument is designed according to three sets of criteria: participation and partnership, reflection and learning, and ecological consideration. It also covers three operational dimensions: learning context, administration, and teaching, with 28 individual items in total. Each item details the environmental education operation and points schools in the direction of a good environmental education response, with four levels of description according to the environmental education criteria. Tests for validity, reliability, feasibility, and a norm referenced test were conducted in this research. Twenty-one experts thought the items of this instrument were important.
