Attitudes toward Oceanic Issues Perceived by High School Students / 中學生對海洋議題的態度

碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 生命科學研究所 / 99 / In recent years, fishery resource consumption, climate changes, the territorial right among countries, such as issues mentioned above related to the ocean have been paid more and more attention to by the governments and civil groups all over the world. In several surveys about concepts and points of view toward the oceanic environment, I found that there are still some people or students have misconceptions and incorrect points of view toward the oceanic environment. Therefore, in this study, Questionnaire Survey Research is used to know that high school students’ current attitude toward ocean. As a result, it was found that for nearly fifty percent Taiwan students go to the sea only once a year and the frequency of their access to the oceanic information is not high in daily life, either. For most of the students, their attitude toward the news related to oceanic issues is that they won’t collect information for further understanding about the problems that ocean are currently encountering, in other words, we can say that students are not actively concerned about our oceanic environment. Moreover, regional, gender, grade and whether live nearby the ocean or easily acquired the oceanic information or not, all above will result in the variation of students’ concerning about the marine news. In addition, based on the circumstances of reading various themes of news, students tend to be highly interested in Nature News; After comparing domestic and foreign press, we can see that students are more interested in foreign news. As for the oceanic environment values, most students’ values toward oceanic environment are ecological value-oriented. On the other hand, what is toward cultural value-orientation is not as high as toward ecological and economic ones. Judging from how the students care about the oceanic news, personally Ithink it’s necessary to put the oceanic issue into the Marine education programs in the future. Through the Oceanic Issues, we can not only enable students to be more sensitive and aware toward the ocean, we also hope that students can learn to establish the correct attitude towards the ocean.
