Maritime Learning

This study aims to investigate the influence of maritime learning activities on competency development among first class cadets at the Philippine Merchant Marine Academy for the 2023-2024 academic year. Maritime learning activities are important for developing skills needed in the maritime industry, but their effectiveness needs more clarity. A case study is proposed to provide insight into how these activities influence competency development, which can help improve curriculum and instruction. Previous research has found maritime education effective at developing skills and guiding students towards careers as professional seafarers. Facilities and resources that support learning are also important for improving maritime competencies.

"Investigating the Influence of Maritime Learning Activities on Student Competency

Development: A Case Study among 1 Class Cadets of PMMA Class 2024"


st

Maritime learning activities are crucial for every student, but their effectiveness in developing
competencies needs to be clarified. This lack of clarity hinders the educational experience and
equips students with the necessary skills for the maritime industry. A comprehensive case study
is needed to investigate the influence of these activities on competency development, enabling
informed decisions on curriculum enhancement and instructional strategies.

A maritime curriculum in educational institutions awakens students' insights, awareness, and


love for the sea that surrounds the Republic of Indonesia, an archipelago consisting of more
than 17 thousand large and small islands (International Journal of Education and Practice VOL.
2020). Especially for junior high school students, most Indonesians depend on sea and
maritime learning activities not only for their livelihood but also to develop their culture through
sea exploration and given proper discussion on the concept of lifelong learning where they can
internalize the value of competency development in a long term perspective for them to achieve
higher goals of being captains and chief engineers.

Research from the Student Development Practices of one Maritime Education Institution in the
Philippines (2017) it was mentioned that maritime students have observed a high level of
student development in maritime learning activities or practices first, in terms of the institution’s
policies toward human resource development systems and concern for innovations in the
methodology of teaching; followed by programs on personal effectiveness and development of
essential skills; and last, the initiatives for career guidance and counseling. The person-
environment theory of John Holland confirms the result of the study where the University brings
positive perspectives on how maritime students are being developed and guided towards
achieving their full potential to become future professional seafarers not only in the country but
also in the international community.

Education and training are organized programs provided to individuals or groups of workers to
enhance their knowledge and skills in performing specific tasks or jobs. According to Dong
(2014), Maritime Education and Training (MET) is an educational system that aims to produce
competent seafarers for merchant vessels. Malek and Mokhtar (year not specified) define MET
as a means of ensuring a competent and knowledgeable workforce.

This method will assist students in attaining their professional objectives (Curry, 2019).
Developing student competencies like a love for marine life, encouraging high interest and
concern, making work decisions, and developing active attitudes and creative entrepreneurship
in the maritime sector must be prioritized in maritime education (Hidayati et al., 2020). ...

Their investment in their learning facilities and resources suggests that there is a solid system in
place to encourage learning. The research of Hidayati (2020) reveals that the aspects
connected to curriculum design, training, and education have the most value when signs of
facility support are present. Learning resources, such as equipment and facilities, are important
for improving maritime-related competencies through education and training.

This study, Maritime Learning Activities aims to provide a well-rounded education in the
Philippine Merchant Marine Academy, focusing on the first-class cadets of the institution that
equips individuals with the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary for successful
careers in the maritime sector for the Academic Year 2023-2024.
