7、1 iii INTRODUCTION Introduction u Purpose of the model courses The purpose of the IMO model courses is to assist maritime training institutes and their teaching staff in organizing and introducing new training courses, or in enhancing, updating or supplementing existing training material where the q
8、uality and effectiveness of the training courses may thereby be improved. It is not the intention of the model course programme to present instructors with a rigid “teaching package” which they are expected to “follow blindly”. Nor is it the intention to substitute audio-visual or “programmed” mater
9、ial for the instructors presence. As in all training endeavours, the knowledge, skills and dedication of the instructors are the key components in the transfer of knowledge and skills to those being trained through IMO model course material. The educational systems and the cultural backgrounds of tr
10、ainees in maritime subjects vary considerably from country to country. For this reason the model course material has been designed to identify the basic entry requirements and trainee target group for each course in universally applicable terms, and to specify clearly the technical content and level
11、s of knowledge and skill necessary to meet the technical intent of IMO conventions and related recommendations. This is the first major revision to this Model Course. In order to keep the training programme up to date in future, it is essential that users provide feedback. New information will provi
12、de better training in safety at sea and protection of the marine environment. Information, comments and suggestions should be sent to the Head of the STCW and Human Element Section at IMO, London. u Use of the model course To use the model course the instructor should review the course plan and deta
13、iled syllabus, taking into account the information provided under the entry standards specified in the course framework. The actual level of knowledge and skills and the prior technical education of the trainees should be kept in mind during this review, and any areas within the detailed syllabus wh
14、ich may cause difficulties, because of differences between the actual trainee entry level and that assumed by the course designer, should be identified. To compensate for such differences, the instructor is expected to delete from the course, or reduce the emphasis on, items dealing with knowledge o
15、r skills already attained by the trainees. He should also identify any academic knowledge, skills or technical training which they may not have acquired. By analysing the detailed syllabus and the academic knowledge required to allow training in the technical area to proceed, the instructor can desi
16、gn an appropriate pre-entry course or, alternatively, insert the elements of academic knowledge required to support the technical training elements concerned at appropriate points within the course. Adjustment of the course objective, scope and content may also be necessary if in your maritime indus
17、try the trainees completing the course are to undertake duties which differ from the course objectives specified in the model course. 1 OFFICER IN CHARGE OF A NAVIGATIONAL WATCH Within the course plan the course designers have indicated their assessment of the time which should be allotted to each a
18、rea of learning. However, it must be appreciated that these allocations are arbitrary and assume that the trainees have fully met all entry requirements of the course. The instructor should therefore review these assessments carefully and may need to re-allocate the time required to achieve each spe
19、cific learning objective or training outcome. Lesson plans Having adjusted the course content to suit the trainee intake and any revision of the course objectives, the instructor should draw up lesson plans based on the detailed syllabus. The detailed syllabus contains specific references to the tex
20、tbooks or teaching material proposed to be used in the course. Where no adjustment is found necessary in the learning objectives of the detailed syllabus, the lesson plans may simply consist of the detailed syllabus with keywords or other reminders added to assist the instructor in making his presen
21、tation of the material. Presentat ion The presentation of concepts and methodologies must be repeated in various ways until the instructor is satisfied, by testing and evaluating the trainees performance and achievements, that the trainee has attained each specific learning objective or training out
22、come. The syllabus is laid out in learning objective format and each objective specifies a requiredperfonnance or, what the trainee must be able to do as the learning or training outcome. Taken as a whole, these objectives aim to meet the knowledge, understanding and proficiency specified in the app
23、ropriate tables of the STCW Code. Implementation For the course to run smoothly and to be effective, considerable attention must be paid to the availability and use of: Properly qualified instructors Supportstaff Rooms and other spaces Equipment Suggested references, textbooks, technical papers Othe
24、r reference material. Thorough preparation is the key to successful implementation of the course. IMO has produced a booklet entitled “Guidance on the implementation of IMO model courses”, which deals with this aspect in greater detail. In certain cases, the requirements for some or all of the train
25、ing in a subject are covered by another IMO model course. In these cases, the specific part of the STCW Code which applies is given and the user is referred to the other model course. 2 INTRODUCTION H Course objective This model course comprises three functions at the operational level. On successfu
26、l completion of the training and assessment trainees should be competent to carry out safely the watchkeeping duties of an officer in charge of a navigational watch, both at sea and in port. In particular, they will be fully conversant with the basic principles to be observed in keeping a navigation
27、al watch as per STCW Regulation V111/2 and STCW Code Chapter VIII. Entry standards The minimum educational standards for entry to the profession may be prescribed by the Administration. in preparing this course it has been assumed that entrants will have successfully completed a minimum period of fu
28、ll-time general education of about 10 or 11 years. They should have reached a standard in mathematics and physical science which would enable them to undertake the learning as set out in the syllabuses for those subjects. Where entrants have not reached the required standard in mathematics or physic
29、al science, it will be necessary to provide a preparatory course or courses to bring them to the desired level before starting the professional studies. Conversely, topics which have been adequately covered during their general education can be omitted and the allotted time reduced accordingly. No p
30、revious maritime training is assumed, but those entering the course should be following an approved programme of shipboard training. Class intake limitations Class sizes should be limited to not more than 24 in order to allow the instructor to give adequate attention to individual trainees. Larger n
31、umbers may be admitted if extra staff and tutorial periods are provided to deal with trainees on an individual basis. In addition, for scheduling access to learning facilities and equipment, attention to strict time management is necessary. in large classes students should have their own reference b
32、ooks, unless sufficient copies can be provided in a central library. Classrooms should be big enough to seat all students so they can see and hear the instructor. During practical sessions and group activities there will be additional restraints on class size. Where applicable, a recommendation on c
33、lass size is contained in the frameworks for each of the individual functions. Textbooks References to books are made in the syllabuses of the individual subjects to aid both instructors and trainees in finding relevant information and to help in defining the scope and depth of treatment intended. T
34、he mention of a particular textbook does not imply that it is essential to use that book, only that it appeared to be best suited to the course at the time of its design. In many instances there are a number of suitable books, and instructors are free to use whatever texts they consider to be most s
35、uited to their circumstances and trainees. 3 OFFICER IN CHARGE OF A NAVIGATIONAL WATCH Every effort has been made to quote the latest editions of the publications mentioned but new editions are constantly being produced. Instructors should always use the latest edition for preparing and running thei
36、r courses. Full use should be made of technical papers and other publications available from maritime and other professional organizations. Such papers contain new developments in techniques, equipment, design, management and opinion and are an invaluable asset to a maritime training establishment.
37、Computer applications In view of the widespread use of computers aboard ship, it is recommended that an element of computer applications be included in the training for officers in charge of a navigational watch. Particulars of the training will largely depend upon the computer facilities available.
38、 The following outline provides guidance on topics which could be included. It is not considered necessary to include the writing of programs. - A brief description of the principles of operation of a computer; the hardware configuration including the connection of peripherals; setting up a printer,
39、 changing paper and ribbons. - A brief explanation of the operating system, its purpose and how to use it for loading and running programs; storing, naming, renaming and deleting files; arrangement of the di rectory. - The care and storage of floppy discs, CD-ROMs and tapes; use of utility programs
40、for formatting and copying discs; keeping back-up copies of files; virus protection. - The running and use of applications, including communications, word-processing, spreadsheet and database programs. Packages which can be run on a personal computer, making use of spreadsheets and databases in conn
41、ection with ships accounts, crew records, planned maintenance and stores inventory and control, are available. - The use of other relevant programs, such as those for cargo loading, stability and stress calculations and navigational problems. The use of multi-media applications can enhance learning
42、in topics such as COLREGS, stability, radar, signalling and other areas of knowledge. Many of the IMO rules and Assembly Resolutions are available on CD-ROM. Up to date details may be found on the IMO web site at http:/www.imo.org Instructors should bear in mind that the internet can be a valuable s
43、ource of information and teaching aids. 4 INTRODUCTION Training and the STCW 1995 Convention The standards of competence that have to be met by seafarers are defined in Part A of the STCW Code in the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers Convention, as amended in 1995.
44、This IMO model course has been revised and updated to cover the competences in STCW 1995. It sets out the education and training to achieve those st an dards . In common with the Convention, the course is organised under the seven functions at three levels of responsibility. Specifically, this cours
45、e covers the minimum standard of competence for officers in charge of a navigational watch on ships of 500 gross tonnage or more, see STCW Code Table A-lVl. For ease of reference, the course material is organised in three separate Functions as per the STCW Code. These functions are: Function 1 Funct
46、ion 2 Function 3 Navigation at the operational level Cargo handling and stowage at the operational level Controlling the operation of the ship and care for the persons on board at the operational level. Each function is addressed in three parts: Part A, Part B and Part C. Part A provides the framewo
47、rk for the course with its aims and objectives and notes on the suggested teaching facilities and equipment. A list of useful teaching aids, IMO references and textbooks is also included. Part B provides an outline of lectures, demonstrations and exercises for the course. No detailed timetable is su
48、ggested. From the teaching and learning point of view, it is more important that the trainee achieves the minimum standard of competence defined in the STCW Code than that a strict timetable is followed. Depending on their experience and ability, some students will naturally take longer to become pr
49、oficient in some topics than in others. Also included in this section are guidance notes and additional explanations. A separate IMO model course addresses Assessment of Competence. This course explains the use of various methods for demonstrating competence and criteria for evaluating competence as tabulated in the STCW Code. Part C gives the Detailed Teaching Syllabus. This is based on the theoretical and practical knowledge specified in the STCW Code. It is written as a series of learning objectives, in other words what the trainee is expected to be able to do as a result of the teachi
