From The Perspective of Continuous Development To Discuss Ocean Environmental Education in Taiwan Abstract Taiwan is an island country. Our daily live is greatly influenced by ocean environment. However, there is only slight attention on the issue of ocean environment, especially, on the textbook of elementary school. Therefore, the major purposes of this study are to discuss: 1. The proportion of issue of ocean environment in elementary textbook. 2. The editing context regarding the concepts of ocean environment in elementary textbook. 3. The potential of building a primary ocean-oriented experimental school in Liuqiu Shiang, Pingtung County in Taiwan. To conduct an enough analysis, this research has reviewed the related literature in Taiwan and other countries with additional survey to execute the research purposes. In conclusion, the result of this study can be summarized as the following three points: 1. In textbook, the percentage of ocean environment issue is distributed as: A. Among the publishers, the textbook from Nan-Yi publisher accounts for 2.96 percent, major concentrating on natural science and technology. B. Among the publishers, the textbook from Kang-Shiuan publisher accounts for 3.01 percent, major concentrating on natural science and technology. By looking at these numbers, the proportion of ocean environmental issue is way too low. Taiwanese government didn¡¦t pay much attention on the natural science and technology of ocean environment. We need to raise the attention on the issue of ocean environment to better educate our posterities to be more careful and to appreciate the precious ocean. 2. The most updated ocean environment concepts in textbook are mostly incomplete and very scattered distributed in different subjects. Therefore, students can only learn fragment of knowledge. 3. The ¡§ocean-oriented¡¨ school is a special system in Penghu County. The teachers and parents have been very supported this educational development. However, the situation in Liuqiu Shiang is very different from that of the Penghu County. The main reason is that all the teachers were frequently moved around in different schools . Such that the research cycle can¡¦t be completed before the teachers got transferred. Another reason is the instruction material is not well developed ¡§ocean-oriented school¡¨ as which have set up in Liuqin Shiang, Pingtung County.
