Sasaki, T.(Tokyo Univ. of Marine Science and Technology (Japan))
Survey of the differences of understanding towards marine science education between USA and Japanese marine educators was conducted using questionnaire method. Both sides think that marine science education is important for citizens to have a concern of the ocean. K-12 educations are also needed, but both citizens don't concern about the ocean and marine science education. And I found also that USA marine educators have a strongly consciousness about environment conservation, and think that the ocean is a good field of scientific searching activity or leisure activity. On the other hand, Japanese marine educators have a strongly expectation that the ocean is a place of seafood production (e.g. not only fish but seaweed), and think the ocean is not a place of leisure activity. These results suggest that USA and Japanese marine educators have difference thinking towards the ocean.
