“…Hill (2013) promoted to cherish resources so that people admired the nature and practice the life style of saving energy, treasuring fortune, appreciating objects, and reducing wastes. Chelonis et al (2011) also indicated that the development of environmental literacy was the ultimate objective of environmental education in different levels of education, i.e. having each person perceive and appreciate natural environment and artificial environment, present the knowledge of natural systems and ecological concepts, understand current environmental issues, and even make responsible decisions for the environment by survey, critical thinking, writing, and communication abilities, as well as develop the behavior to balance the quality of life and the environmental quality and solve environmental problems.…”

The rapid development of technology and economy has largely enhanced the quality of life. Nevertheless, various social and environmental problems have emerged. It would be the key solution to develop environmental education in order to have people present the environmental knowledge and the attitudes and value to concern about the environment and develop the skills and action to solve environmental problems. Environmental education teachers in 25 colleges and universities in central and southern Taiwan are researched in this study. Total 250 copies of questionnaires are distributed, and 224 valid copies are retrieved. The research results conclude the significant positive correlations 1.between professional development and professional knowledge & competence, 2.between teacher belief and professional knowledge & competence, and 3.between teaching efficacy and professional knowledge & competence. According to the research result, suggestions are eventually proposed in this study. It expects to arouse the public cognition of environment to care for the environment through curriculum instruction of environmental education teachers and have people present the environmental knowledge and the attitudes and value to concern about environment.

“…As boys are generally willing to make greater efforts to get food or non-food rewards than girls (Chelonis, Gravelin, & Paule, 2011;Rollins et al, 2014), boys' favored learning modes may be consistent with the HR food reinforcement involved in control rules. In addition, since control rules render emotional cues more salient stimuli in triggering HR food consumption, males are particularly vulnerable to such effect; they are more likely to rely on reward-seeking behaviors, such as HR food eating, to regulate emotions (Cooper, Russell, Skinner, Frone, & Mudar, 1992).…”

“…The PR task has been widely used in humans and non-human animals to assess motivation for rewards (Baron & Derenne, 2000;Chelonis, Gravelin, & Paule, 2011;Richardson & Roberts, 1996). In humans, a common use of the task is to determine how much work people are willing to perform for an addictive drug (Depoortere et al, 1993;Rush et al, 2001;Rusted et al, 1998).…”
