Abstract
As the signs of disruption in the relationship between man and the marine environment become more and more pronounced, the teacher’s role is further highlighted nowadays. The present study, conducted on a sample of 40 Kindergarten and Primary school teachers through a semi-structured interview, attempts to portray their self-efficacy in teaching marine sciences issues. The results show incomplete cognitive and pedagogical competencies and a series of factors that need to be modified or further cultivated are highlighted, both on the teachers’ part and the part of the school culture, the students, their families, and the local community towards a sustainable marine environment.
