“…Classroom teaching offers good opportunities to apply different seminar methods to communicate and interact with a group of students. In the UK, promising attempts have been made in the maritime educational system, specifically in the area of integrated coastal management, to enhance student learning processes by the application of experiential learning theories on web-based distance learning and classroom courses (Fletcher 2001;Fletcher and Dodds 2003).…”

“…The discrepancy between the challenges of ICM capacity building and the lack of a related literature exploring teaching and learning strategies to overcome these difficulties has been highlighted previously (for example, by Fletcher and Dodds 2003). While many papers and reports have been published that describe specific capacity‐building needs (Harvey et al 2002), approaches to capacity building (Wescott 2002; Hong and Xue 2006) and specific capacity‐building activities (Heeps 1996; Stevenson et al 1996; Taussik 2000; Ballinger and Lalwani 2000; Johnson et al 2000; Potts 2000; Veenstra 2002; Ducrotoy 2003; Johnson and Potts 2006).…”

Capacity building is commonly considered to be a fundamental prerequisite to successful integrated coastal management (ICM). Capacity building for ICM is an educational process, in which skills and knowledge are taught, learned and then applied, within a coastal management process. Previous research into ICM capacity building has tended to focus upon identifying the skills and knowledge required for effective ICM rather than the pedagogic elements of capacity building; that is, how the effectiveness of learning can be improved. This paper reports on a study that focuses on establishing the favoured learning style of students studying ICM in UK universities in order to consider more generally the role of pedagogy in ICM. Kolb's Learning Styles Inventory, a widely used generic learning styles test, was used to establish preferred learning styles. The results showed that ICM learners exhibited a complete range of learning styles, but that 47% were classified as ‘convergers’, who prefer to learn through practice and consider the teacher to be a facilitator and role model rather than knowledge giver. It is concluded that ICM capacity building leaders should consider pedagogic issues more fully in the design and delivery of capacity‐building activities and that a specific pedagogy of ICM is required.

“…As far as the former is concerned, a host of academic papers have been published that describe specific degree courses, short courses or teaching approaches (examples include Taussik, 1998;Ballinger & Lalwani, 2000). A related, but considerably smaller literature, examines the pedagogy of ICM, in which teaching approaches are assessed according to their effectiveness in supporting learning (examples include Fletcher, 2001aFletcher, , 2001bFletcher & Dodds, 2003). Pedagogy is a particularly important area as it provides insights into how individuals and groups learn about ICM, which in turn can be used to enhance the quality of capacity building mechanisms.…”

The Role of Universities in Supporting Integrated Coastal Management in the United Kingdom

Historically, the role of universities in supporting ICM in the United Kingdom has been perceived as limited to the provision of courses for new entrants to the discipline and of limited continuing professional development opportunities. This research presents a broader review of the role of universities in ICM in the United Kingdom, and includes contributions to management practice, continuing professional development, research, and course provision. Through a multi-stage methodology it has been found that the contribution of universities to ICM in the United Kingdom is under pressure. This was found to be partially attributable to changes within the university sector and partly to the prevailing infrastructure of ICM in the United Kingdom. It is concluded that without greater partnership working between universities, practitioners, and government, the role of universities in ICM may deteriorate over the short to medium term.
