In Keelung City, marine education is promoted in elementary schools to provide students with basic concepts and knowledge of the subject. This paper analyzes the progress achieved in the implementation of marine homeland education. Students’ levels of understanding about the subject and relevant skills involved, and their affections for the subject are studied. Results from the analysis are summarized below:
(1)The majority of the students interviewed had acquired their knowledge of the subject from formal lessons; therefore, it is necessary for responsible bodies to provide teachers with various means to improve their knowledge of the subject in order to raise their teaching standards.
(2)All the students interviewed had intermediate-level knowledge of the subject. It is therefore advised that apart from incorporating current topics into the teaching, essential basic knowledge and concepts regarding the subject must be included in the curriculum to improve learning efficiency.
(3)Students in non-coastal school districts have less knowledge of Keelung’s marine culture development history than those in coastal school districts.
(4)All the students interviewed feel that outdoor teaching and marine camps run by the schools are the best methods to increase their knowledge of and interest in the topic, and that essay competitions and drawing competitions have the least impact on their knowledge and interest. Generally speaking, students f that their libraries have too few books and reference materials on the subject of marine lives and find this dissatisfying.
(5)Schools in coastal districts should integrate marine education into the core curriculum; and, utilize community resources, the outstanding marine environment and local professionals to help develop distinguished educational materials and activities for students. Schools in non-coastal districts can focus more on river education and employ more outdoor teaching to build on students’ knowledge of mountains, rivers and seas.
(6)In terms of affection as discovered in the interviews, students in coastal school districts will transform thoughts into actions; whereas students in non-coastal school districts show affection for relevant matters but lack tangible actions.
(7)The interviewed students were tested on their abilities to distinguish different types of vessels and their exteriors, and to identify functions of ports. The rate of students who have successfully acquired these two techniques is low.
