碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 教育研究所 === 99 === Abstract Based on the previous literature review, this study had collected various Taiwanese ocean-themed documentaries to analyze, and then selected three representative marine documentaries to have in-depth interviews with the makers (directors) to understand the distribution and the production process of Taiwanese marine documentaries in the past decade, providing as a reference of application in education for teachers. By collecting Taiwanese marine documentaries, this study analyzed the representation on the five thematic strands of marine education in the Taiwanese marine images and documentaries, attempting to develop a whole new way for teachers to teach marine education. Moreover, the multi-angled viewpoints of marine education were also rethought through the dialogues with the makers of the documentaries. By analyzing and interviewing the makers, the following results were obtained: Taiwanese marine documentaries have begun to increase after the year of 2000; however, there are still not many ocean-themed documentaries. The marine films cannot keep pace with the time and the contents are varies greatly, lacking of an integrated establishment. Even the education institutions of the Government have smaller collection of marine images than the private sectors. As for the five thematic strands of marine education, the marine films are mostly related to marine resources theme, whereas the marine documentaries are mostly related to marine cultures. While shooting marine images, the private sectors focus on the appeal of marine resources and ecological conservation, while the independent makers mostly focus on marine cultures. Also, the films of marine issues have a diversified development trend. This study suggests that the Government should combine the university, industry, and the Government to shoot marine documentaries which can meet the educational needs, to establish a complete database, and to integrate the related civil institutions. As for the teachers, they should enrich their professional marine knowledge and skills and well utilize the marine documentary as a teaching media, and they are encouraged to make teaching media of marine images on their own. This study also suggests that the documentary film-makers should use the ocean as a material to emphasize on the marine cultural identity. Finally, this study suggests several directions for the future researchers according to the research areas, research topics and research methods respectively.
