7、hancing, updating or supplementing existing training material where the quality 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”.
8、Nor is it the intention to substitute audio-visual or “programmed” material for the instructors presence. As in all training endeavours, the knowledge, skills and dedication of the instructor are the key components in the transfer of knowledge and skills to those being trained through IMO model cour
9、se material.The educational systems and the cultural backgrounds of trainees in maritime and fi sheries subjects vary considerably from country to country. The model course material has been designed to identify the basic entry requirements and trainee target group for each course in universally app
10、licable terms and to specify clearly the technical content and levels of knowledge and skill necessary to meet the technical intent of IMO conventions and related recommendations. Use of the model courseTo use the model course the instructor should review the subject outline and the detailed teachin
11、g syllabus in each module, taking into account the information provided under the entry standards specifi ed in the subject framework. The actual level of knowledge and skills and the prior technical education of the trainees in the subject concerned should be borne in mind during this review and an
12、y areas within the detailed teaching syllabus which may cause diffi culties because of differences between the actual trainee entry level and that assumed by the course designer, should be identifi ed. To compensate for such differences, the instructor is expected to delete from the course, or to re
13、duce the emphasis on items dealing with knowledge or skills already attained by the trainees. Instructors 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 trainin
14、g in the technical area to proceed, the instructor can design 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 technical course.Adjustment of the course objectiv
15、es, scope and content may also be necessary if in your fi sheries industry, the trainees completing the course are to undertake duties which differ from the course objectives specifi ed in the model course.Within the course plan the course designers have indicated their assessment of the time which
16、should be allotted to each area of learning. However, it must be appreciated that these allocations are arbitrary and assume that the trainees have fully met all entry requirements SKIPPER ON A FISHING VESSEL2of the course. The instructor should therefore review these assessments and may need to rea
17、llocate the time required to achieve each specifi c learning objective or training outcome. Lesson plansHaving adjusted the course content to suit the trainee intake and any revision of the subject objectives, the instructor should draw up lesson plans based on each detailed syllabus. The detailed s
18、yllabus contains specifi c references to the textbooks or teaching material proposed to be used in the course. An example of a lesson plan is given for guidance only. Where no adjustment has been found necessary in the learning objectives of a detailed syllabus, the lesson plans may simply consist o
19、f the detailed syllabus with key words or other reminders added to assist the instructor in making his or her presentation of the material. PresentationThe presentation of concepts and methodologies must be repeated in various ways until the instructor is satisfi ed that the trainee has attained eac
20、h specifi c learning or training objective. The syllabus is laid out in learning objective format and each objective specifi es a required performance or, what the trainee must be able to achieve as the learning or training outcome. Taken as a whole, these objectives aim to meet the knowledge, under
21、standing and profi ciency specifi ed in the functional skill/knowledge requirements relating to the 1995 STCW-F Convention. ImplementationFor the course to run smoothly and to be effective, considerable attention must be paid to the availability and use of: Properly qualifi ed instructors Support st
22、aff Rooms and other spaces Workshops and equipment Suggested reference material, textbooks, technical papers Other reference materialThorough preparation is the key to successful implementation of the course. IMO has produced a booklet entitled “Guidance on the implementation of IMO model courses”,
23、which deals with this aspect in greater detail and is included as an attachment to this model course. Course objectiveThis model course comprises three functions. On successful completion of the course and the requisite watchkeeping experience, skippers will be capable of taking full responsibility
24、for the safety of the vessel, fi shing vessel personnel and the catch. They will be aware of their obligation under international agreements and conventions concerning safety and the protection of the marine environment and will be able to take the practical measures necessary to meet those obligati
25、ons.3INTRODUCTIONThis model course has been developed for skippers. The material is set out so that it can be run separately from the course for offi cer in charge of a navigational watch, but this is not intended to imply that it has to be run separately. It has been written in this manner so as to
26、 give Administrations the opportunity to arrange a structure best suited to their specifi c needs.The teaching schemes should be carefully scrutinized to ensure that all of the tabulated training outcomes are covered, that repetition is avoided and that essential underpinning knowledge at any stage
27、has already been covered. A certain amount of duplication under different subjects will probably occur. Providing it is not excessive, the different approaches can provide useful reinforcement of work already learned. Care should be taken to see that items not included in the syllabus or treatment b
28、eyond the depth indicated by the objectives have not been introduced except where necessary to meet additional requirements of the Administration. The teaching scheme should be adjusted to take account of such matters and the timing of any modular courses (such as training in Fire fi ghting, Medical
29、 care) which are to be included. Entry standardsEntrants should have successfully completed a course covering the minimum standards required for certifi cation as offi cer in charge of a navigational watch on fi shing vessels of 24 metres in length and over, operating in unlimited waters. Course cer
30、tifi cateOn successful completion of the course and assessments, a document may be issued certifying that the holder has successfully completed a course of training which meets or exceeds the level of knowledge and competence specifi ed in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certi
31、fi cation and Watchkeeping for Fishing Vessel Personnel, 1995. A certifi cate may be issued only by centres approved by the Administration. Staff requirementsInstructors should be qualifi ed in the task for which training is being conducted and have appropriate training in instructional techniques a
32、nd training methods (chapter 2, paragraph 2.5 of the FAO/ILO/IMO Document for Guidance on Training and Certifi cation of Fishing Vessel Personnel).The instructor should be thoroughly familiar with the operation of the equipment to be used in the course. Teaching facilities and equipmentA classroom e
33、quipped with at least an overhead projector and a blackboard or fl ipchart should be provided for teaching the theory of the course and holding group discussions. Multi-media equipment, where available, will be an advantage.Additional spaces for practical demonstrations, workshops exercises, etc sho
34、uld be available.SKIPPER ON A FISHING VESSEL4The following items are necessary for use in group work;COLREGS72 a set of table-top models displaying proper signals or lights, a magnetic board or a navigation light simulator.Manoeuvring a set of models to represent vessels, piers and other dock confi
35、gurations, which can be used on a table top to illustrate vessel handling techniques. Course intake limitationsClass sizes should be limited to not more than 24 in order to allow the instructor to give adequate attention to individual trainees. Larger numbers may be admitted depending on the availab
36、ility of additional instructors, equipment and facilities to provide meaningful training. 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 books, unless suffi cient co
37、pies can be provided in a central library. Classrooms should be big enough to seat all students so they can see and hear the instructor. TextbooksReferences to books are made in the syllabuses of the individual subject elements to aid both instructors and trainees in fi nding relevant information an
38、d to help in defi ning the intended scope and depth of the subject to be covered.The 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 suitabl
39、e books, and instructors are free to use whatever texts they consider to be most suited to their circumstances and trainees.Every effort has been made to quote the latest editions of the publications mentioned but newer editions may exist. Instructors should always use the latest edition for prepari
40、ng and delivering their courses. English languageThe requirements for knowledge of the English language are the same at the level of skipper as they are at the level of the navigation offi cer of the watch. However, Administrations may consider that knowledge of English at a higher level would be de
41、sirable for a skipper as outlined below: completes a note of protest in English writes reports on damage to the vessel requests fuel, water, vessels stores and spares, verbally and in writing reads and understands manufacturers instructions for operation and maintenance of equipment on board the ves
42、sel5INTRODUCTION IT and computer applicationsIn view of the rapid growth of information technology (IT) and widespread use of computers aboard vessels, it is recommended that at the discretion of the Administration, computer applications should be, where possible, included in the training for skippe
43、rs. If this topic has not been covered already during training as offi cer in charge of a navigational watch, some basic training will also be required.Training will depend upon the computer facilities available and the needs of the trainees and could include topics such as the use of: IT applicatio
44、ns, for communications (e-mail, data, etc), the internet, intranets and the world-wide web (WWW), and automatic monitoring, data-recording and alarm systems.The use of multi-media applications can enhance learning in topics in many areas of knowledge for skippers, junior offi cers and crew members.
45、Many of the IMO rules and Assembly resolutions are available on CD and information may be found on the IMO website at http:/www.imo.org Training and the STCW-F 1995 ConventionThe standards of competence that have to be met by fi shing vessel personnel are defi ned in the International Convention on
46、Standards of Training, Certifi cation and Watchkeeping for Fishing Vessel Personnel, 1995. It sets out the education and training requirements for achieving those standards.Specifi cally, this course covers the minimum standard of competence for skippers on fi shing vessels of 24 metres in length an
47、d over operating in unlimited waters.For ease of reference, the course material is organized in three separate functions, namely: Function 1: Navigation Function 2: Catch handling and stowage Function 3: Controlling the operation of the fi shing vessel and care for persons on boardEach function is a
48、ddressed in three parts: Part A, Part B and Part C.Part A provides the framework 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 lectu
49、res, demonstrations and exercises for the course. No detailed timetable is suggested. From the teaching and learning point of view, it is more important that the trainee achieves the minimum standard of competence defi ned in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certifi cation and Watchkeeping for Fishing Vessel Personnel, 1995 and the guidance on standards of competence in the FAO/ILO/IMO Document for Guidance on Training and Certifi cation of Fishing Vessel Personnel than, that SKIPPER ON A FISHING VESSEL6a strict timetable
