Active Learning in Maritime Education

Abstract

In the field of education, the importance of active learning as a more effective educational method has recently been noted. The element of active learning was introduced to the anchoring training of the training ship for third-year students of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, and its effects have been verified. The learning effect of training was confirmed by the questionnaire results of the students. Moreover, the self-evaluations of student and evaluation of instructor confirmed the skill of grasping a shipʹs position with improved accuracy and learning effects. Self-evaluation and evaluation by the other student, which were introduced as the element of active learning, both demonstrated a positive learning effect. Furthermore, since an effective training method was examined, a result is reported.

A Suggestion of an Application of Blended Learning in MET Through a Harmonized STCW Model

“…Third stage is a pre-practice theoretical summary, which also maybe mixed into fourth stage of practical hands-on training in a form of exercise briefings or workshops, also active learning techniques as mentioned by Kunieda et al (2017) may be more applicable on this stage.…”

Survey Of Maritime Student Satisfaction: A Case Study On The International Student Survey To Identify The Satisfaction Of Students In Mathematical Courses

“…There are different methods developed to motivate and engage students to study specialty-specific courses in maritime education (Kunieda et al 2017). However, students need strong background knowledge in mathematics and statistics in order to successfully pass maritime-related courses, as mathematics plays an essential role in maritime affairs (Stanivuk et al 2017;Akakpo 2016).…”

Role-Playing to Foster ‘Deep-Sea Exploration’ Through Active and Virtual Learning: A Class-Design for Colombian Higher Education

“…More importantly, Deep-Sea Exploration aims to provide young scientists and stakeholders at a local and international scale with the right scientific information, multidisciplinary background, and international references that enable good decision-making for future management agents of the Colombian seafloor. During the class, we followed similar active learning practices from ocean-related sciences (Kunieda, Kashima, Kido, & Murai, 2017;McConnell et al, 2017), where students exert three key roles in the history of deep-sea exploration, researcher, entrepreneur, and explorer, under a learning environment in which the student is required to perform actively toward the accomplishment of a main goal or task per module. These proficiencies are intended to first, facilitate an interactive capability to conduct experiments using data streaming in real time.…”
