本研究旨在瞭解國中生對戶外教育的行前期望和事後滿意程度，並探討國中生戶外教育滿意度與學習成效之間的關係。
本研究使用自編問卷，在台中市某國中學生參加三天兩夜戶外教育活動的前後進行調查。共計發出298份問卷，回收有效問卷293份問卷。資料經描述性統計、獨立樣本T檢定、皮爾森積差相關、重要滿意度分析(IPA)等方式分析後，得到以下發現：
一. 國中生對戶外教育活動中能提供良好的飲食和安全舒適的活動環境重視程度高。
二. 在戶外教育的學習成效上，技能和人際的學習成效優於認知。
三. 學生性別在戶外教育滿意度的人員服務上有顯著差異。
四. 學生性別在戶外教育學習成效上沒有顯著差異。
五. 戶外教育滿意度與學習成效呈顯著正相關。
因此，本研究建議日後在戶外教育活動中提供良好的飲食和安全舒適的活動環境，可有效提高學系成效；且在規劃戶外教育活動時可多增加學生在技能、人際和情意上的學習，不要只偏重在認知上的學習，才能真正實踐戶外教育提倡實際體驗與生活結合的核心精神。
