The research method that the academic research mainly involves is literature method and comparative method. Investigation research regards questionnaire survey as its major research method, and regards interview as an assistant method. The research aims to construct goal system and content system of environmental ethics education of geography subject in middle school, which base on excavating the connection between geography subject and environmental ethics education, and examining present condition of geography subject implementing environmental ethics education. In addition,the research puts forward the improving strategy according to the existent problems. The research mainly obtains the following results.Firstly, in order to thoroughly excavate the factors of environmental ethics education from geography subject, the research inquiries into the connection between geography subject and environmental ethics education from two dimensions.

From the investigation, we can conclude that the level of the students' environmental ethics accomplishment and the condition of the geography teachers permeating the environmental ethics education are all not ideal.Thirdly, the research constructs goal system of environmental ethics education of geography subject in middle school on the base of the related research literature and the geography teachers' standpoint. The research tries to divide the goal system into three levels. The goal system contains general goal and sub-goal. On base of the general goal, the goal system develops sub-goals from three dimensions, which are cognition, affection and behavior. Cognitive goal domain mainly contains five sub-goals. Affective goal domain also mainly contains five sub-goals. Behavior goal domain mainly contains four sub-goals.Fourthly, the research constructs content system of environmental ethics education of geography subject in middle school on the base of the related research literature and the geography teachers' standpoint.
