6、 in enhancing their maritime training capabilities through the provision or improvement of maritime training facilities at national and regional levels. IMO has also responded to the needs of developing countries for postgraduate training for senior personnel in administration, ports, shipping compa
7、nies and maritime training institutes by establishing the World Maritime University in Malm, Sweden, in 1983. Following the earlier adoption of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, a number of IMO Member Governments had suggested
8、that IMO should develop model training courses to assist in the implementation of the Convention and in achieving a more rapid transfer of information and skills regarding new developments in maritime technology. IMO training advisers and consultants also subsequently determined from their visits to
9、 training establishments in developing countries that the provision of model courses could help instructors improve the quality of their existing courses and enhance their effectiveness in meeting the requirements of the Convention and implementing the associated Conference and IMO Assembly resoluti
10、ons. In addition, it was appreciated that a comprehensive set of short model courses in various fields of maritime training would supplement the instruction provided by maritime academies and allow administrators and technical specialists already employed in maritime administrations, ports and shipp
11、ing companies to improve their knowledge and skills in certain specialized fields. IMO has therefore developed the current series of model courses in response to these generally identified needs and with the generous assistance of Norway. These model courses may be used by any training institution a
12、nd the Organization is prepared to assist developing countries in implementing any course when the requisite financing is available. W. A. ONEIL Secretary-General V INTRODUCTION Introduction W The purpose of the IMO model courses is to assist maritime training institutes and their teaching staff in
13、organizing and introducing new training courses, or in enhancing, updating or supplementing existing training material where the quality and effectiveness of the training courses may thereby be improved. Purpose of the model courses It is not the intention of the model course programme to present in
14、structors with a rigid “teaching package” which they are expected to “follow blindly”. 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 component
15、s in the transfer of knowledge and skills to those being trained through IMO model course material. Because educational systems and the cultural backgrounds of trainees in maritime subjects vary considerably from country to country, the model course material has been designed to identify the basic e
16、ntry requirements and trainee target group for each course in universally applicable 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 To use the model course the instructor shou
17、ld review the course plan and detailed syllabus, taking into account the information provided under the entry standards specified in the course framework. The actual level of knowledge and skills and prior technical education of the trainees should be kept in mind during this review, and any areas w
18、ithin the detailed syllabus which 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, it
19、ems dealing with knowledge or skills already attained by the trainees. He should also identify any academic knowledge, skills or technical training which they may not have acquired. Use of the model course By analysing the detailed syllabus and the academic knowledge required to allow training in th
20、e 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 objectives, sc
21、ope and content may also be necessary if in your maritime industry the trainees completing the course are to undertake duties which differ from the course objectives specified in the model course. Within the course plans, the course designers have indicated their assessment of the time which should
22、be allotted to each learning area. 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 and may need to reallocate the time required to achieve e
23、ach specific learning objective. 1 PROFICIENCY IN SURVIVAL CRAFT AND RESCUE BOATS OTHER THAN FAST RESCUE BOATS 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 syllab
24、us. The detailed syllabus contains specific references to the textbooks or teaching material proposed to be used in the course. An example of a lesson plan is shown in the instructor manual on page 46. Where no adjustment has been found necessary in the learning objectives of the detailed syllabus,
25、the lesson plans may simply consist of the detailed syllabus with keywords or other reminders added to assist the instructor in making his presentation of the material. Presentation The presentation of concepts and methodologies must be repeated in various.ways until the instructor is satisfied, by
26、testing and evaluating the trainee?s performance and achievements, that the trainee has attained each specific learning objective or training outcome. The syllabus is laid out in learning-objective format and each objective specifies a requiredperformance or, what the trainee must be able to do as t
27、he learning or training outcome. Taken as a whole, these objectives aim to meet the knowledge, understanding and proficiency specified in the appropriate tables of the STCW Code. Implementation For the course to run smoothty and to be effective, considerable attention must be paid to the availabilit
28、y and use of: b properly qualified instructors o support staff o rooms and other spaces o equipment o textbooks, technical papers o other reference material. Thorough preparation is the key to successful implementation of the course. IMO has produced a booklet entitled ?Guidance on the implementatio
29、n of IMO model courses?, which deals with this aspect in greater detail. W 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. This IMO model cou
30、rse has been revised and updated to cover the competences in STCW 1995. It sets out the education and training to achieve those standards detailed in Chapter VI, Table A-VV2-1 of the STCW Code. Training and the STCW 1995 Convention Part A provides the framework for the course with its aims and objec
31、tives 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. A suggested timetable is included, but from the teaching and learnin
32、g 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 proficient in some topics than in others
33、. Also included in this section are guidance notes and additional explanations. L INTRODUCTION 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
34、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 teaching and training. Each of th
35、e objectives is expanded to define a required performance of knowledge, understanding and proficiency. IMO references, textbook references and suggested teaching aids are included to assist the teacher in designing lessons. The new training requirements for these competences are addressed in the app
36、ropriate parts of the detailed teaching syllabus. The Convention defines the minimum standards to be maintained in Part A of the STCW Code. Mandatory provisions concerning training and assessment are given in Section A-116 of the STCW Code. These provisions cover: qualification of instructors; super
37、visors as assessors; in-service training; assessment of competence; and training and assessment within an institution. The corresponding Part B of the STCW Code contains non-mandatory guidance on training and assessment. The criteria for evaluating competence in Table A-VV2-1 of the STCW Code are to
38、 be used in the assessment of the competences listed in the table. As previously mentioned, a separate model course addresses Assessment of Competence and use of the criteria for evaluating competence tabulated in the STCW Code. W Responsibilities of Administrations Administrations should ensure tha
39、t training courses delivered by colleges and academies are such as to ensure those completing training do meet the standards of competence. W Validation The information contained in this document has been validated by the Sub-Committee on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping for use by technical a
40、dvisors, consultants and experts for the training and certification of seafarers so that the minimum standards implemented may be as uniform as possible. Validation, in the context of this document, means that the Sub-Committee has found no grounds to object to its content. The Sub- committee has no
41、t granted its approval to the documents, as it considers that this work must not be regarded as an official interpretation of the Convention. In reaching a decision in this regard, the Sub-Committee was guided by the advice of a Validation Group comprised of representatives designated by IL0 and IMO
42、. 3 PROFICIENCY IN SURVIVAL CRAFT AND RESCUE BOATS OTHER THAN FAST RESCUE BOATS Part A: Course Framework W Aims This model course aims to provide the training for candidates to launch and take charge of a survival craft or rescue boat in emergency situations, in accordance with Section A-VI12 of the
43、 STCW Code. W Objective This syllabus covers the requirements of the 1995 STCW Convention Chapter VI, Section A- V112, Table A-V112-l. On meeting the minimum standard of competence in survival craft and rescue boats other than fast rescue boats, a trainee will be competent to operate life-saving app
44、liances and take charge of a survival craft or rescue boat during or after launch. They will also be able to operate a survival craft engine and manage survivors and survival craft after abandoning ship. Trainees will know the correct use of all locating devices, including communication and signalli
45、ng apparatus and pyrotechnics, how to apply first aid to survivors and the actions to take to preserve the lives of those in their charge. Entry standards For admission to the course, seafarers must be certified by a doctor to be in good health. They must also have completed the four basic courses c
46、overing the familiarization and basic safety training and instruction in accordance with Regulation VI11 of STCW 1995. Course certificate On successful completion of the course and demonstration of competence, a document may be issued certifying that the holder has met the standard of competence spe
47、cified in Table A- V112-l Of STCW 1995. A certificate may be issued only by centres approved by the Administration. Course intake limitations The maximum number of trainees attending each session will depend on the availability of instructors, equipment and facilities available for conducting the tr
48、aining. It should not exceed the number of persons which the survival craft to be used is permitted to carry, and should not, at any time, exceed that which will allow sufficient opportunity for each trainee to have adequate practical instruction in procedures for the proper use of systems and equip
49、ment. W Staff requirements The instructor shall have appropriate training in instructional techniques and training methods (STCW Code Section A-116, paragraph 7). W Training facilities and equipment Ordinary classroom facilities and an overhead projector are required for the lecturers. In addition, a demonstration table measuring 3 m by 1 m would be an advantage. When making use of audio-visual material such as videos or slides, make sure the appropriate equipment is available. The practical lessons require access to a lake or the sea, preferably in harbour or estuarial waters. A swimming
