碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 環境生物與漁業科學學系 / 98 / This study aims at examining the realities, challenges encountered, and assistance needed regarding the promotion of swimming teaching by Keelung City’s marine education. The study surveys a group of people comprising teachers and athletic directors in Keelung City’s elementary schools, and adopts literature analysis and questionnaire survey. This study also performs SWOT analysis and develops PDCA educational management model as guidelines for Keelung City’s elementary schools to develop feasible strategies in implementing swimming teaching. The results are summarized as follows:
1. The teachers surveyed report that the lack of qualified swimming instructors is the main challenge facing schools that intend to implement swimming teaching, which is followed by schools’ hardware equipment, inadequate facilities, and improper planning of the swimming program.
2. Qualified swimming instructors and lifeguards in Keelung City’s elementary schools are in severe shortage right now. Most existing swimming courses are taught by external swimming coaches. Offering swimming teaching training courses for current teachers is a top priority.
3. The percentage of Keelung City’s elementary schools having an indoor swimming pool that can be used for conducting swimming programs is low. The management and the maintenance cost also deterred many schools that have a swimming pool.
4. Schools with no swimming pool often partner with external parties and resources. The extra time, additional charges, and transportation safety issues as a result of conducting the swimming program in a difference place may affect teachers’ motivation in promoting the swimming teaching.
5. Teachers with a sports and swimming-teaching background or having attended swimming-related training programs are more optimistic about the current situation of swimming teaching, and are more positive than other teachers towards the feasibility of promoting swimming teaching.
6. There is a significant correlation between Keelung City’s elementary school teachers’ support of swimming-related policies and their satisfaction with the implementation of swimming teaching. In other words, a teacher’s affirmation of swimming teaching policies will have a positive impact on the actual promotion of swimming teaching.
7. Viable suggestions on the implementation of swimming teaching at Keelung City’s elementary schools:
A.Make a budget plan that includes swimming facilities. In addition to subsidizing the construction of new pools, more efficient resource sharing and integration among schools of all levels should be promoted.
B. Conduct teacher training and swimming teaching certification programs, so as to improve the overall teaching abilities.
C. Promote water activities and teacher and student certification programs.
D. Apply the PDCA management to Keelung City’s swimming teaching plans, and continue to improve the city’s teaching and program planning.
