“…Research subjects were the most diverse in this category. Evaluated topics included the effects of simulator training, VR training, AR training, game-based learning, e-learning, and neuroscience tools [11,25,33,69,125,134,159,166]. Evaluations were made with several different scales or from various points of view and it is not applicable to list all of them.…”

“…This distinction was made if it was clearly stated in the text of the paper regarding a course, subject, focus group, or training department. A few studies included several courses or were conducted with general usage in mind [25,32,38]. In the same manner, many studies presented their findings and results for a specific training department or focus group (e.g., deck or engine department).…”

The minimum requirements in maritime education and training (MET) are set by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). First established in 1978, the STCW convention standardized educational procedures for seafarers. Since then, it has become the most influential regulatory document for maritime education. The STCW code had major revisions in 1995 and 2010. These amendments were in response to the recognized need to bring the Convention up to date. However, it has been over a decade since the latest amendments came into force, and over the past decade, new educational technologies and digital educational methods have developed significantly. Not only that, but technologies used onboard ships have also advanced considerably. Today, digitalization and the fourth industrial revolution are rapidly reshaping the maritime industry, as well as maritime education. These issues coupled with the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic increased the need for more advanced training tools and methods in MET. Concerns are rising regarding the need for more comprehensive rules that will better reflect today's educational needs and progress in the literature. This paper takes a first step toward addressing these issues by improving the understanding of the currently used advanced teaching methods in MET. This bibliometric review provides developments in the field from the perspective of educators and researchers. As a result, we discovered several narratives and literature gaps in MET. This article reviews the currently investigated subjects and topics, used educational tools and equipment, types of research, and main influencers in MET research. The field is still newly developing, but at a rapid pace. Newly developed tools and methods are increasing, but advances are also constrained because they are made to fit the decade‐old regulations.

“…Furthermore, Ochavillo stressed that, although MET could transition from face-to-face learning to online learning due to COVID-19, this shift had been challenging due to insufficient planning and preparation, and proposed a catch-up program for a paradigm shift to online learning [12]. Bolmsten et al argued that to cultivate a highly qualified workforce as employment patterns in the shipping industry shift with technological development, it would be necessary to change maritime education and training activities, as well as implement new changes within educational and training institutions [13]. However, while all these studies proposed the need for a change to a new educational paradigm, they did not present specific optimal teaching methods, and their analyses were thus limited to qualitative literature reviews.…”

Identifying Optimal Approaches for Sustainable Maritime Education and Training: Addressing Technological, Environmental, and Epidemiological Challenges

et al. 2023

Maritime education and training (MET) for seafarers who operate ships has struggled to flexibly adapt to technological and environmental changes. In particular, as social demand for online MET arose due to COVID-19, the need for sustainable MET beyond traditional teaching methods grew exponentially. In order to identify the most optimal MET methods among face-to-face and online methods, this study reviewed the concepts and applications of existing MET methods, grouped them using a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, and supplemented this structure through a designed survey. The results showed that the online methods had the greatest weight, and the “XR (extended reality) within the metaverse” teaching method had the highest priority. This study identified which MET methods should be prepared for the post-COVID era through quantitative analysis. We confirmed the need for attention to XR within the metaverse as a field of online methods in the future. Furthermore, our findings reveal that online education platforms via metaverse-based “expansion” and “connection” are needed, and pave the way for future research to expand empirical studies on MET satisfaction regarding existing International Maritime Organization model courses.
