• No one wants to talk about it, patients don’t bring it

up. Physicians don’t ask. Meanwhile, thousands
suffer in silence as incontinence erodes their quality
of life. When it is discussed, all too often, patience
are told – incorrectly – that it’s a normal
consequence of aging and that they should get
used to it.

EXAMPLE OF TRENDS
From the latest data of the Environmental Protection
Administration (EPA), ROC petition cases from Taiwan
increased by 100 cases per year recently, which
means that noise problems desperately needed to
be solved. If no effective measure is taken, then we
will not know quiet condition for even a day.

EXAMPLE OF ISSUE (CROSS-REFERENCE)

Noise is very harmful to human health, and it causes
many physical and mental disease (Taylor, 1970;
Jonah, Bradley, & Dawaon, 1981; Hua and Gau, 1993;
Yeh, 1997). Noise also influences interpersonal
communication by interfering with all kind of sounds
(Suter, 1991; Hung, 1985) and disturb human sleep,
etc. (Theiessen, 1970; Suter, 1991)

The noise portion of environmental education was

previously undertaken by researchers such as Allman
(1992), Chen and Gau (1994). Concerning the study lf
noise concepts, Allman (1972) mentioned 9
secondary concepts of “noise pollution control” in his
research on environmental education conceptions,
and Chen and Gau (1994) mentioned 4 sub-
concepts about noise in their study on environmental
education conceptions in elementary school.

Lin (1994) even established concept maps of noise

pollution for elementary school students. However,
there has been no research on standardized
evaluation tests environmental education.

EXAMPLE OF OBJECTIVES/CONTRIBUTION
Hence, from the aspects of the major content and
procedures of environmental education, the purpose
of the study are to (1) study misconceptions about
noise and complete test questions for noise concept
tables of elementary school students from these
misconceptions;

(2) compile evaluation tables through standard

procedures to increase the quality and application of
the evaluation tables and; (3) thus interpret, explain,
and compare scores as the basis for learning
diagnosis, learning accomplishment evaluation, and
teaching improvement
