| dcterms.abstract | The escalating threats to global marine ecosystems demand innovative management approaches. An increasing emphasis on multimedia, particularly videos, exists in environmental education programs, but there is a substantial gap in understanding their impact, especially in marine education. This shift towards multimedia in education is driven by the recognition of its potential to enhance the effectiveness of conveying complex environmental concepts, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the adoption of digital tools for remote knowledge dissemination. The focus on marine education programs is crucial given the vital role of the oceans in supporting ecosystem services and the urgent need to address the threats faced by marine environments due to anthropogenic stressors. This project proposes to study the use of videos in two marine education programs, the Hanauma Bay Education Program (HBEP) and The Coral Triangle Center (CTC), to understand how multimedia can be effectively utilized in informal environmental education. The specific objectives of this study are to investigate: (1) the effectiveness of videos in orienting, guiding, and educating visitors to marine areas; and (2) how videos can be optimally utilized in the field of resource management for educational purposes. Three methods will be used to address these objectives: (i) identification of existing implementations of videos in marine education programs; (ii) development and implementation of video content for informal education programs aimed at orienting, guiding, and educating visitors in marine areas; and (iii) evaluation of the effectiveness of video-based education through surveys, interviews, and educational impact assessments. The proposed outputs include a list of video types and uses for informal marine education, videos for implementation, recommendations for using educational videos, a capstone report, and an oral presentation. The desired outcomes include maximizing the effectiveness of video utilization in informal marine education programs and fostering awareness of marine ecosystems. By raising awareness about the fragility of these ecosystems and the threats they face, individuals are more likely to develop a sense of empathy and concern for their preservation. The study aims to provide insights into best practices, offering practical guidance for informal marine educators. | |
