The Evolution and Implications of Global Marine Education
——A Longitudinal Examination from a Global Historical Perspective
Liu Chao , Lv Lingyan
Abstract: Marine education serves as the cornerstone of maritime power. This article delineates the evolution of global marine education, categorizing it into four developmental stages marked by significant historical transitions: the colonial expansion of the 19th century, the awakening of ecological consciousness after World War II, and the United Nations’ Ocean Decade initiative in the 21st century. It reveals the interplay between educational forms, maritime power games, ecological crises, and technological innovations. Furthermore, the article focuses on the modernization of marine education in China, detailing its progression since the 19th century into four distinct phases: the passive enlightenment period, the planned system period, the open transition period, and the strategic leadership period, while also addressing the challenges encountered in its localization practices. Lastly, it critically engages with the developmental experiences of global marine education, elucidating their implications for China’s marine education and tentatively proposing innovative pathways that integrate an international perspective with Chinese characteristics.

题目: 全球海洋教育的演进逻辑与时代意蕴——基于全球史观的纵向剖析
摘要：海洋教育是海洋强国建设的基石。本文梳理全球海洋教育的演进历程，划分出以19世纪殖民扩张、二战后生态意识觉醒及21世纪联合国“海洋十年”倡议为标志的四大发展阶段，揭示教育形态与海权博弈、生态危机及技术创新的互动关系。进而聚焦中国海洋教育现代化进程，详述其自19世纪以来经历的被动启蒙期、计划体制期、开放转型期与战略引领期四个阶段，并剖析本土化实践中的挑战。最后，批判性借鉴全球海洋教育的发展经验，阐释其对我国海洋教育的启示，初步提出兼具国际视野与中国特色的创新路径。
