中學生對海洋議題的態度

Abstract

最近幾年，漁業資源耗竭、氣候變遷、各國領海權等海洋相關問題越來越受到各國政府及民間團體的重視。在幾個對於海洋環境概念、海洋環境觀的調查中發現，仍有部分的民眾或學生對於海洋有所迷思概念及不正確的環境觀。因此在本研究中，採用問卷調查法來得知目前中學生對於海洋的態度。調查結果發現，將近有五成的學生一年才 去一次海邊，而且平常生活中接觸到海洋訊息的頻率也不高。對於海洋新聞的態度，並非大部分都會進一步蒐集相關資料，來瞭解海洋目前所面臨的問題，可見學生對於海洋環境的關心程度仍不夠積極；而且地區、性別、年級與靠近海洋、接觸海洋訊息程度的多寡，皆會造成學生對海洋新聞關心程度的差異。另外，在閱讀不同主題的新聞狀況下，學生對於自然新聞的關心程度較高；而以國內、外新聞做比較之後，可看出學生對於國外新聞的關心程度較高。在海洋環境價值觀的部分，學生的海洋環境價值觀大部分以生態價值為導向，但文化價值導向的程度卻不如生態及經濟價值觀。從學生對於海洋新聞的關心程度來看，在將來的海洋教育課程融入海洋議題有其必要性，透過海洋議題不只要讓學生對於海洋更有敏感度及覺知，也希望學生能夠從中建立對海洋應有的正確態度。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.
