  • The Joint Education and Training of Engineer and Navigator Cadets for Careers As Officers in British Merchant Ships, in the 1960S1
    An Exercise in Social Conditioning? The Joint Education and Training of Engineer and Navigator Cadets for Careers as Officers in British Merchant Ships, in the 1960s1 Alston Kennerley Les années 1960 ont vu les premières tentatives sérieuses pour intégrer l'éducation à terre et la formation des futurs officiers britanniques de la marine marchande (autant navigateurs qu'ingénieurs) avec la structure nationale de l'époque pour la formation professionnelle. La pratique traditionnelle dans l'éducation, la formation, le brevetage et l'entourage social des marins marchands, fournit un contexte pour l'introduction de cours abrégés pour les officiers stagiaires conformes aux qualifications professionnelles nationales. La fourniture de cours de technologie maritime en parallèle avec des cours de science nautique est examiné en se concentrant sur les éléments communs. La conclusion fait ressortir que cette disposition d'intégration d'éducation avec la formation professionnelle était importante en égalisant les differentes catégories d'âge, en fournissant des possibilités éducatives précédemment inaccessibles, et en contribuant à l'amélioration des rapports personels à bord des navires. “Navigating and Engineer Cadets live together in the School’s Halls of Residence, and as far as possible the activities and studies of the Cadets are integrated so that future officers undergo the same kind of training and are subject to the same kind of control and 1 Some of the research for this paper was supported by the Nuffield Foundation as part of a wider project entitled “British Merchant Marine Engineers, 1820-1970: Origins, Training, Education and Careers.” An earlier version was presented at the International Congress of Historical Sciences at Sydney, Australia, 2-9 July, 2005.

Accordingly, the Secretary-General is required to maintain a list of competent persons approved by the Maritime Safety Committee, including competent persons made available and recommended by Parties who may be called upon to evaluate the reports submitted pursuant to regulations I/7 and I/8; and to assist in the preparation of the report required by STCW regulation I/7, paragraph 2. 2 To this effect, the Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-eighth session (28 May to 6 June 1997), approved a list of competent persons to be maintained by the Secretary-General (MSC/Circ.797). The Committee, at subsequent sessions, has approved additional competent persons and issued revisions of the List (MSC/Circ.797/Rev.1 to 33). The List has been further updated based on the information provided by STCW Parties, including withdrawals and inclusions of competent persons nominated in accordance with the form set out in Circular Letter No.1882, and approved by the Maritime Safety Committee at its 101st session (5 to 14 June 2019).

  • The Attitude and Performance of the Cadets of Maritime Institution During Ship Board Training: an Assessment
    The Attitude and Performance of the Cadets of Maritime Institution during Ship Board Training: An Assessment Jose M. Barlis Jr., Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific, Philippines Josefin D. Fajardo III, Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific, Philippines Kathy Dimog, Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific, Philippines Marijoy B. Mendoza, Mariveles National High School, Philippines Marise M. Barlis, Mariveles National High School, Philippines The Asian Conference on Education 2015 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The feedback coming from the ship officers is vital in order to determine and evaluate the performance of the cadets of the maritime institution so that necessary actions and adjustments are made prior to their embarkation. Shipboard Training is the one year practicum component of the four-year Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation (BSMT)/ Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering (BSMarE) programs. Research made questionnaire was constructed in order to determine the performances of the cadets based on the perceptions and evaluations of their officers on board. A total of one hundred sixty four (164) ship officers on board who directly supervised the performance of the cadets during the international shipboard training for class 2015 are the respondents of the study. Among the five (5) areas of concern, the attitudes towards colleague got the highest score with very favorable attitudes/ behavior. While knowledge got the lowest mean with favorable attitude/ behavior. It also shows that there is no significant difference on the evaluations of the evaluators when grouped according to position. However, when the evaluators were grouped according to nationality, there are significant differences in terms of attitudes towards colleagues and behavior.
