Marine Education: Teaching for the Future

Abstract

This keynote presentation was developed to provide a baseline research understanding of marine science education. The aim is to provide an entry point for conversations among educators of marine education in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. Conversations are needed to develop the perceptions of marine education among policymakers not only in education but also in the economy. Marine education is under-researched and under-taught in most countries, even those with long coastlines. Yet, without our oceans, life on Earth cannot exist. This paper presents a rapid review of 149 research papers located in a systematic search of the ERIC via ProQuest that followed the PRISMA exclusion process. The findings are presented as eight themes and a set of recommendations.
