Abstract
The study aims was as to describe ocean climate phenomena occurring in Indonesia and earth physics education profile conducted at the institution of teacher education to answer crisis and challenge ocean climate in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive analysis based on syllabus and test result and interview to student of pre-servis teacher to 25 student in private Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan (LPTK) 1 and to 19 student in LPTK 2 about ocean climate through field study. The results show that students have a low understanding of the impact of the ocean climate and there are some issues related to the concept of ocean climate. Another fact of the syllabus used is that earth physics courses are not deeply taught material, dominated by theoretical studies and less focused on preparing students for ocean climate phenomena. As a recommendation, it is necessary to restructure the earth physics education of the ocean climate in order to increase the climate literacy. Through course accordinglly, we can greatly help students physics prospective teacher to improve climate literacy to solve the problem of ocean climate crisis in the society
