EFFECTS OF ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT INTEGRATED ART EDUCATION ON STUDENTS' LEARNING OUTCOME AND ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOUR

Ecological environment is the basis of social development. The destruction of natural environment and ecology, on the contrary, would restrict social development. Environmental issues therefore have become the common concerns globally. To promote the knowledge and perception of environmental problems through education and to understand the correlations among living environment, resources, and humans are urgent for educators. Art is originated from life and is integrated into life, and life is the source of culture. Integrating ecological environment into art teaching allows students being close to the environment, reflecting the correlation of 'human-environment-society', potentially acquiring sense of accomplishment and potential inspiration, as well as developing sound personality. Taking a university in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, as the research object, total 196 students are preceded the ecological environment integrated art education experiment in this study. The 15-week experimental teaching is preceded for 3 h per week (total 45 h). According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to promote students' learning interests in art and emphasis on environmental conservation to achieve the effect of ecological art education and cultivate students' responsible environmental behaviour.
