Abstract

Science literacy is one of the discussions in science education. Early childhood living on the island is very close to the marine environment. So the discussion of scientific literacy requires more specific by the characteristics of the child’s area of residence. Marine science literacy (MSL) is a specification of scientific literacy in the marine region. This study aims to investigate and explore marine science literacy (MSL) content in early childhood. This research uses a qualitative case study approach with four early childhood participants aged between 4-7 years with interview and observation methods. Research findings indicate that the MSL component consists of children’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviour related to marine. More research to explore more in-depth about the aspects and content of marine science literacy needs to be done in the future
