  • Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: the German Initiative in the 1950S1 Alston Kennerley
    Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: The German Initiative in the 1950s1 Alston Kennerley Tout au long du 20ème siècle la pertinence de l'expérience pratique dans les navires hauturiers à voile carrée avec de futures carrières de marin dans les navires motorisés a été discutée et remise en cause. Il restent aujourd'hui des pays qui fournissent une telle expérience pour des officiers stagiaires, et il y a un soutien mondial pour donner de l'expérience de la voile aux jeunes dans le cadre du développement caractériel indépendamment du futur métier. La discussion ici se concentre sur l'initiative allemande des années 50, en recherchant des avis personnels au sujet du contexte et du but opérationnel, par le moyen de questionnaires sur l'expérience personnelle de la voile et du métier de marin qui a pu suivre. Les résultats prouvent que les répondants étaient généralement favorables à la possibilité de formation en termes de la gamme étendue des qualifications personnelles engendrées, et que le coût et l'effort sont valables. The history of merchant seafarer training is probably almost as old as deep sea seafaring itself. It can certainly be identified from medieval times, at least in Britain through the adoption of craft guild progression structures: apprenticeship, journeyman craftsman (mate), master craftsman. In British seafaring two levels of apprenticeship evolved: seaman apprenticeship and officer apprenticeship. With the opening of the oceans in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, educational dimensions, especially navigation, began to be taught ashore as well as at sea, to those destined for command. Until well into the nineteenth century, skills aspects, grouped under the term seamanship, were always learned or taught through example and experience aboard ships engaged in commercial trading.

DESCRIPTORS Elementary Education; Inservice Teacher Education; Program Effectiveness; *Reading Instruction; Reading Research; *Teacher Attitudes; *Teacher Response; Teaching Methods; Teaching Styles IDENTIFIERS *Transactional Strategies Instruction ABSTRACT Two studies examined seven teachers' acceptance of a strategies-based approach to reading instruction during their first year of using the intervention. Interviews andobservations revealed that the intervention, a long-term transactional strategies instruction program called SAIL (Students Achieving Independent Learning), was fully acceptable to only two of the seven teachers. Issues that influenced acceptability included professional development support and teacher choice. Recommendations that could lead to greater acceptance of transactional strategies instruction by teachers using it for the first time are offered. Briefly, teachers need: several years of professional development; a safe, supportive school environment; explanations and modeling of what good strategy teachers do; and encouragement

  • Comparing Sail Training and Landbased Youth Development Activities: a Pilot Study Luke Mccarthy and Ben Kotzee
    Comparing sail training and landbased youth development activities: a pilot study Luke McCarthy and Ben Kotzee Introduction The value of adventure and experience of the outdoors to education and general personal development has long been stressed, with some authors tracing the idea as far as Homer and Plato (Hattie et al, 1987: 43). A more obvious history of adventure education can be traced from the Victorian era – with its romantic idealisation of the experience of nature (Hopkins and Putnam, 1993: 4) – to today. Whilst some of the effect of outdoor or adventure education programmes may lie in the positive impact of such programmes on physical fitness, experiencing the outdoors environment was seen (by both classical and Victorian authors) as an important factor in general social development. This view has been supported since from the 1960s onwards through a number of empirical studies that seek to justify the effectiveness of such programmes and that sketch exactly what the benefits of such programmes are (Ewert, 1987: 14). Using ships and the sea in adventure education also has a history that can be traced back to the mid-19th century (McCulluch, 2002: 70). By the mid-20th century “sail- training” had become more formalised, with, for instance, the establishment of the (UK) Sail Training Association (now the Tall Ships Youth Trust) and the International Sail Training Association (both in 1956). Today, there are more than 30 organisations in the UK alone providing sail training on more than 50 craft. The primary purpose of these organisations is not necessarily to teach young people to sail, but rather to develop life skills more generally through involvement with sailing.

  • The Keystone State's Official Boating Magazine I
    4., • The Keystone State's Official Boating Magazine i Too often a weekend outing turns to tragedy because a well- meaning father or friend decides to take "all the kids" for a boat ride, or several fishing buddies go out in a small flat- bottomed boat. In a great number of boating accidents it is found that the very simplest safety precautions were ignored. Lack of PFDs and overloading frequently set the stage for boating fatalities. Sadly, our larger group of boaters frequently overlooks the problem of boating safety. Boaters in this broad group are owners of small boats, often sportsmen. This is not to say that most of these folks are not safe boaters, but the figures show that sportsmen in this group in Pennsylvania regularly head the list of boating fatalities. There are more of them on the waterways and they probably make more frequent trips afloat than others. Thus, on a per capita or per-hour-of-boating basis, they may not actually deserve the top spot on the fatality list. Still, this reasoning does not save lives and that is what is WHO HAS BOATING important. ACCIDENTS? Most boating accidents happen in what is generally regarded as nice weather. Many tragedies happen on clear, warm days with light or no wind. However, almost half of all accidents involving fatalities occur in water less than 60 degrees. A great percentage of these fatal accidents involved individuals fishing or hunting from a john boat, canoe, or some other small craft. Not surprising is that victims of this type of boating accident die not because of the impact of the collision or the burns of a fire or explosion, but because they drown.
