技術型高中海事類師資培育問題初探

A Preliminary Study on the Training of Maritime Teachers in Vocational High Schools

本研究旨在探討臺灣技術型高中海事群教師師資培育現況與挑戰。面對全球航運科技快速發展與國際規範不斷升級，海事教育亟需高素質、具實務經驗之師資以確保課程品質與學生就業競爭力。然而，調查結果顯示，國內海事類科教師人力面臨供需失衡、專任合格教師比例不足、高齡化嚴重與師資培育產出低迷等結構性問題。進一步分析顯示，多數學校在課程設計上已符合STCW操作級課程要求，專業與實習課程學分比重普遍超過五成，惟教師人力配置明顯未達法定標準，可能影響學生取得STCW證照與適任資格，損及其職涯發展權益。此外，目前僅有兩所大學設有海事群師資培育課程，師資生人數長期偏低，投入教職比例有限。本文建議強化產學合作、調整師資待遇、擴增培育管道、落實教師資格與進修制度，並由政府整合跨部會資源，推動永續海事師資發展政策，確保技術型高中海事教育體系之穩定與國際接軌。

This study aims to examine the status and challenges of teacher education and training for maritime programs in Taiwan’s vocational high schools. As global maritime technologies advance rapidly and international regulations continue to evolve, maritime vocational education urgently requires highly qualified teachers with practical experience to ensure curriculum quality and enhance students’employability. However, the findings reveal structural problems in Taiwan’s maritime education system, including an imbalance in teacher supply and demand, a low proportion of full-time qualified teachers, aging faculty, and insufficient output from teacher education and training programs. Further analysis shows that while most schools meet the operational-level course requirements of the STCW Convention, with professional and practical courses accounting for over 50% of credits, teacher staffing often fails to meet legal standards. This shortfall may hinder students from obtaining STCW certification and qualification, thus affecting their career development rights. Additionally, only two universities in Taiwan offer teacher education programs for the maritime cluster, with persistently low enrollment and a limited number of graduates entering the teaching profession. This paper recommends strengthening industry-academia collaboration, improving teacher compensation, expanding training pathways, enforcing qualification and in-service training systems, and encouraging government-led interministerial resource integration to promote sustainable maritime teacher development policies. These measures aim to ensure the stability of maritime education in technical high schools and its alignment with international standards.
