碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 教育研究所 / 107 / The research purpose was to analyze the 2008-year curriculum and the Nani edition of textbooks, especially the science and social aspects in elementary to high school, as well as quantitatively analyzing the contents in four major aspects of marine education in the Grade 1-9 Curriculum Guidelines and the 12-year Basic Education Curricula. Hereafter referred to as Taiwan’s New/Old Marine Education Curriculum Guideline.
The study adopted the content analysis method and used the seven Ocean Literacy Essential Principles as an important analytical index from the National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) in the United States, with scorer reliability of 0.94. The US Ocean Literacy Principles draws the scope and the order of K-12 courses, which corresponds to our curricular outline and textbooks, as the contents are in line with these seven principles in number and distribution of the concepts, to understand the direction of development in marine education in Taiwan. Through its curriculum and textbooks, to examine if there are any missing parts. The results were as follows:
A.The Grade 1-9 Curriculum Guidelines, the Nani edition of textbooks and Taiwan’s New/Old Marine Education Curriculum Guideline analyzed with the US Ocean Literacy Essential Principles. There are a total of 82 sub-items in the seven Ocean Literacy Essential Principles and high-to-low corresponding order, the Grade 1-9 Curriculum Guidelines consisted of 69.51% (social science 30.49% and science 67.07%), the Nani edition textbooks had 63.41% (social science 31.71% and science 59.76%), the Grade 1-9 Curriculum Guideline on Marine Education included 28.05% and the 12-year Basic Education Curricula for Marine Education comprised of 24.40%, in their contents.
B.In correspondence with the “most” content to the seven Ocean Literacy Essential Principles, the 2008-year curriculum primarily had 91.67% on the topic of “The ocean is largely unexplored.” As for the Nani edition textbooks, they focused 84.62% on the fifth principle of “The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems.” Taiwan’s New/Old Marine Education Curriculum Guidelines covered the sixth principle of “The ocean and humans are inextricably interconnected” by 60% and 53.33%, respectively.
C.When the seven Ocean Literacy Essential Principles applied in elementary, middle, and high schools, they mostly covered in high schools. 90% high schools following the 2008-year curriculum would cover the seven principles. 73.3% high schools included via the Nani edition textbooks. As for the Grades 1-9 Curriculum Guideline on Marine Education, 36.67% of high schools adopted it. 30% of high schools followed the 12-year Basic Education Curricula on the seven principles. Among them, the 2008-year curriculum and the Nani edition textbooks, the ratios of coverage in elementary and middle schools did not vary much, at 51.93%±2.72% and 63.46%±2.72%, respectively. In terms of Taiwan’s New/Old Marine Education Curriculum, the ratios of coverage in both the elementary and middle schools were relatively similar, at 23.08%±0% and 21.16%±2.72%, respectively.
Finally, based on the research results, specific recommendations were suggested to textbook editors, educational administration, teachers, and future researchers, as references.
