本研究旨在探討雲林縣濱海地區〈以下簡稱本地區〉國民小學生命教育實施現況，主要研究目的有四：1.瞭解本地區國民小學生命教育實施情形。2.瞭解本地區國民小學生命教育的實施困境與需求。3.探討本地區國民小學生命教育實施困境的因應之道。4.研究結果提供教育行政機關、學校行政人員和教師實施生命教育的參考。 研究者採用問卷調查法，以本地區四個鄉31所國小全體教師為研究對象。共計發出537份問卷，回收506份，回收率94 %，其中有效問卷463份，有效率達91.5%。 研究者以「國民小學生命教育實施現況之調查問卷」為研究工具，調查資料經SPSS統計分析後，獲得下列結論：一、本地區國小教師80.3 %同意目前生命教育的實施方式；83.8 %在教學過程中會配合實施生命教育的相關課程或活動；31所國小都將生命教育納入教學或宣導。二、本地區國小教師認為「影片欣賞與心得分享」是生命教育最有效的教學法；而「融入教學中」則是國小實施生命教育最可行的方式。三、本地區國小教師認為生命教育實施過程中所遭遇的困境有「受限教學時間難以安排」、「本身知能不足」以及「教材取得不易」等因素；希望透過「再學習」的方式來增進生命教育相關知能；同時認為目前在國小實施生命教育尚有一些限制待克服，需要配套措施。四、本地區國小教師認為實施國小階段生命教育最重要的目標是讓學生「肯定、重視、珍惜生命的價值」；規劃生命教育內涵的重要取向有健康教育、倫理教育、人格教育等。 最後，根據上述研究結論，以及在研究過程中所遇到的限制，對未來相關研究提出若干建議。 This study focused on exploring the current situation of implementing life education of the elementary schools in Yunlin County’s coastal areas.
