The objects of the research were the students of the 14 elementary schools in southern Taiwan cities (Kaohsiung, Pingtung and Taitung). The method used in this research was questionnaire survey. Through in-depth interviews and ocean concepts questionnaires (children’s drawing paper), the purpose of study is to understand that association between demographic characteristics (gender, grade, waterfront area, urban or suburban) and elementary school students’ ocean concepts. The ocean concept questionnaire (drawing paper) required students to finish drawing “ocean that you know” in 30 minutes, and give a title and describe their own ocean concepts and experience afterwards. A total of 30 valid Semi-structured in-depth interview questionnaires and 800 ocean concepts questionnaires were acquired. Data were analyzed through SPSS（Statistical Package for Social Science）and the statistical approaches used in this research included cross tabulation and Chi-square test.
Chi-square tests were used to analyze the differences between demographic characteristics and ocean concepts. The results showed that only “habitation (waterfront areas or not)” was statistically significant, which meant place of residence was related to children’s ocean concepts. Children lived in non-waterfront areas were higher in the cognition of “natural ocean” category, while children lived in waterfront areas were higher in the cognition of “concious ocean” category. No matter the children lived in waterfront areas or non-waterfront areas, they were all higher in the cognition of “natural ocean” than “concious ocean”. Under these circumstances, we knew that children’s ocean concepts were mainly about concrete marine resources and marine ecology, abstract ocean concepts (marine conservation, marine exploiting and marine culture) were obviously insufficient, which may take a substantial period of time to cultivate. The in-depth interviews found that students' cognitions of "natural oceans" were generally high, but the cognitions of "conscious oceans" were generally inadequate, especially the cognitive aspects of "marine culture." Based on the investigation and analytical results of this study, relevant opinions and suggestions were proposed. It is hoped that the research could serve as reference for the promotion and follow-up research of Marine Education Course in the future.
