The research results summarize the significant effects of outdoor ecological education on problem-solving capability, project-based learning on problem-solving capability, and the practice of project-based learning to outdoor ecological education curriculum on the promotion of learning effect. According to the results to proposed suggestions, it is expected that college students would present deeper cognition and learning on outdoor ecological education to really achieve the application, exploration, and creation capabilities from outdoor ecological education curriculum.
