Abstract

In this report, the forest environmental education in Shiga Prefecture was taken up. Through all the processes of the experience learning programme, the programme of the special-needs schools were the characteristic contents of composition as compared with the common school. This has suggested that it is necessary to set up a different target from a common school, and the contents of a program, in order to promote the forest environmental education of a special-needs school. But by programme of "Yamanoko", since the government had not distinctionized the forest environmental education in accordance with each school, the result of this research showed that new designs of experience learning programme and the active role of the government which shows the plan of an auxiliary enterprise were called for. On the other hand, although evaluation of the programme as part of school education was comparatively low, it was shown that the evaluation as experience study using the senses is high, and evaluation of the teacher about the programme itself is high generally. It means that expectations are encouraged to the research on deployment and this of the forest environmental education in a future special-needs school.
