QUALITY CRITERIA IN MARITIME EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Abstract

It is crucial to implement quality standards systems to achieve and maintain the requirements in maritime education and training stipulated by the International Maritime Organization and Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Convention and Code. The study offers suggestions for analysing and improving the understanding of quality and quality criteria in maritime education. For this purpose, in line with the literature review and expert opinions, 38 sub-criteria were determined under five main criteria, and these criteria were prioritised using the Best Worst Method through the agency of 10 experts. The results of the study showed that the most fundamental criteria in the quality of maritime education and training are professional and personal development, sense of professional ethics, publication and research, and compliance with and effective use of course hours, respectively. The results of the study have also enabled educational institutions to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in terms of quality.

DENİZCİLİK EĞİTİM VE ÖĞRETİMİNDE KALİTE KRİTERLERİ

Abstract

Uluslararası Denizcilik Örgütü ve Gemiadamlarının Eğitim, Belgelendirme ve Vardiya Tutma Standartları Hakkında Sözleşme ve Kodu’nun öngördüğü denizcilik eğitim öğretim gereklerine ulaşmak ve sürdürebilmek için kalite standartları sistemlerinin uygulanması son derece önemlidir. Çalışmada denizcilik eğitimindeki kalite anlayışının, ölçütlerinin irdelenmesi ve geliştirilmesine yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur. Bu amaçla yapılan literatür taraması ve uzman görüşleri doğrultusunda 5 ana kriter altında 38 alt kriter belirlenmiş ve 10 uzmanın yardımıyla En İyi-En Kötü Metodu kullanılarak kriterlerin önem sıralaması yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar denizcilik eğitim ve öğretiminin kalitesinde en önemli ölçütlerin sırasıyla, akademik personel ve danışmanlık hizmetleri ana başlığı altında bulunan mesleki ve kişisel gelişim, meslek etiği anlayışı, yayın ve araştırma yapılması ve ders saatlerine uyum ve etkin kullanım olduğunu göstermiştir. Çalışma sonuçları aynı zamanda eğitim kurumlarının kalite için güçlü ve zayıf yanlarını değerlendirebilmelerini sağlamaktadır.
