| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 環境教育研究所 === 104 === Ocean is an important system of our planet in support of life and sustainable development. There are increasing recognitions in promoting ocean education to develop knowledge about human-ocean interactions ocean literacy and broaden the world views and concerns from global to local marine environment. Keelung, as an important port city in Taiwan, embraces rich natural and cultural ocean resources to develop marine environmental education. As the implementation of featured school and curriculum in twelve-year compulsory education, the high schools in Keelung should emphasize the ocean and harbor characteristics and develop marine environmental education.
The aims of this research include, (a) investigating the status and resources of marine environmental education in high schools in Keelung; (b) developing a framework for marine environmental education of an ocean city based on global and local perspectives; (c) linking regional learning resources to schools. The research methods include: questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with 11 representatives of teacher and scholar in Keelung.
The conclusions are as follows: (a) in the current situation of marine education: schools and institutionals have basic curriculums, but can develop more complete programs; facilities’ visiting is concentrated in some educational points, other points should be connected; schools and institutionals want to develop more cooperation and holistic workshops.
(b) In the framework for marine environmental education: the important learning content and issues are consistent with the theoretical concepts and combined with local issues and resources, but about “marine survey technology”, “from river to ocean”, “experiment and data analysis” are weaker; the framework including: a principle of “from local to global”, three issues of “environmental ecology”, “marine economy”, “history and culture”, and four content of “marine ecology conservation”, “sustainable use of marine resources”, “ocean experience and observation”, “ocean and other systems interaction”.
(c) The suggestions for future cooperation and development can try to: establish the inter-institution, co-design and cooperation community; and develop a marine experience center to integrate regional resources and be communicative platform.
