The 「Environmental Convergence Inquiry」 textbook was developed based on academic trends and research accomplishments in the field of environmental education, grounded in the 2015 Revised Curriculum. This study aims to introduce the fundamental direction, key points, and content structure of the 「Environmental Convergence Inquiry」 subject, which was primarily written by school teachers in practice in response to the era of climate crisis. The authors of 「Environmental Convergence Inquiry」 refined the textbook by enhancing the overall structure, learning objectives, and content through continuous content revisions. The fundamental direction of 「Environmental Convergence Inquiry」 is to foster ecological citizens in response to climate change, based on three environmental teaching and learning methods: connection, events, and projects. The key points of textbook development include ensuring connectivity between middle and high schools, incorporating content elements that align with national social demands and the core principles of the 2015 Revised Environmental Education Curriculum, and appropriately managing the learning load. The entire textbook consists of three units: Unit 1 explores connections between the environment and various scales; Unit 2 explores complex environmental issues and events from various perspectives, such as environmental, social, economic, and cultural aspects; and Unit 3 involves carrying out projects by posing meaningful questions related to environmental problems or issues in the local community or selecting topics related to the environment. For the successful establishment of the 「Environmental Convergence Inquiry」 subject in the future, it is necessary to ensure that substantial and comprehensive instruction is provided through the textbook and on-site classes.
