Ship Handling

One aspect of life hit hard by the COVD-19 pandemic in 2020 was education in general and, in this case, actual ship training. The same is true for anchoring training, implemented annually as part of maritime training. Therefore, to conduct ship training effectively and briefly, this study advocates hybrid training, that is, shortened practical training combined with on demand video learning materials created and distributed to students in advance. Group work on ship handling planning that lasts for three to six hours is normally conducted annually in traditional classes. However, because of the pandemic, the allotted time for group work was reduced to approximately 1.5 hours. Therefore, in 2020, we conducted hybrid training, that is, anchoring training that included on demand video learning materials. Compared to students’ 66.3% average achievement rate in 2018 and 2019, the average in 2020 was 78.3%. ‘Anchoring procedure’ and ‘altering course’ items showed a particularly large gap in evaluation. The following were effects of hybrid training: (1) Videos that can be watched in advance can also be viewed repeatedly at one’s own pace. (2) The capacity to watch videos via smart phones provides students with better access. (3) As videos can be watched in advance, students become familiar with concepts before training, thus leading to better understanding of the training’s content and purpose. These results demonstrated hybrid training’s effect when practical training is combined with on demand materials.

Blended learning that combines e-learning and face-to-face lessons is spreading from employee training to school education. To improve its educational effect, we conducted training after students watched on-demand teaching materials, that is, e-learning in advance. In addition, students’ watched on-demand review material created from the video of the practical training, aiming to confirm their knowledge and skills. The authors have so far proposed a Group work, Training, Group work and Presentation (hereinafter “GTGP”) training model that combines group work, training, group work and presentation. As a result of comparing blended learning that combined in-advance, on-demand teaching materials and the GTGP model training with the previous GTGP model training alone, we found that the average achievement rate improved by 6.0%. In addition, students’ expressions about watching on-demand review material after training indicated the material was effective.

Ship Handling

In shipping, which is one of the drivers of the world’s economy, many marine accidents continue to occur, such as ship collisions and grounding. To prevent marine collision accidents, there is a strong demand to improve seafarers’ skills through training. Therefore, practical and simulation training sessions are carried out. However, these cannot be considered sufficient because of cost and time constraints. Therefore, the authors proposed a training method in which a group of students set the situation themselves by adding restrictions on actual cases of ship handling for collision avoidance and then discuss and present it. In this training method, ship training instructor assessment and an anchoring experiment were carried out, both of which obtained good evaluations. The anchoring experiment showed a difference of up to 27.5% in the achievement rate between the proposed training and previous training. Regarding ship handling for collision avoidance, as much as a 45.5% difference in achievement rate was observed. These are considered to have the effect of encouraging active thinking by the proposed training method. In addition, the effect of considering the ship handling for collision avoidance for many situations can be thought. Furthermore, it was considered to be the effect of discussions in group work.

There are hordes of data-driven, context-aware, and people-centric applications and services for smarter environments such as smarter homes, governments, buildings, cities, and organizations. With the exponential growth of smart phones, there are service repositories and application stores in remote mobile clouds. Similarly, with the ceaseless advancements in the device ecosystem and in the IT field, government-specific applications will flourish and be deployed and maintained in special cloud stores, platforms, and infrastructures to be found, bound, and used by any input/output devices for a variety of everyday personal and professional purposes. Smart, sustainable, intuitive, and citizen-aware services can be dynamically created from the ground up as well as orchestrated or choreographed out of multiple atomic and discrete software services.

Captain Kashima et al. showed that ship handling skills significantly improve when anchoring exercises are practiced on training ships. And Kunieda et al. showed that the practicing on training ships also develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We created an evaluation scale for elementary ship handling skills to measure the effects of different anchoring training methods. We assessed the training methods using a rubric evaluation list containing nine evaluation items. Group work was arranged before and after the anchoring training sessions based on the results from student questionnaires and instructor evaluations. Our results reveal the most effective training model for developing ship handling skills.

Abstract Background The COVID-19 outbreak brought about major changes in the format in which university lectures were delivered in Japan. Most classes changed from face-to-face classes to remote education methods to prevent infection. This study investigated the relationship between lecture comprehension with on-demand classes and the use of time to complete lecture-related assignments during COVID-19. Methods The eligible participants were 139 third-year pharmacy students; they received seven pharmacotherapeutics lectures via on-demand classes from September to November 2020. We classified the participants into three groups according to the period between lecture upload to the submission of related assignments: submission on the day of upload (“early,” n = 42); the 2nd day to the day before the deadline (“intermediate,” n = 58); and on the deadline day (“late,” n = 39). In our analysis, we mainly used Spearman’s correlation coefficients to examine the correlations among end-of-semester examination scores, total assignment scores, and time of assignment submission. Results A strong positive correlation was evident between test scores and total assignment scores in the early group (r = 0.68, P < 0.001) and a weak correlation in the intermediate group (r = 0.27, P = 0.038), but there was no correlation in the late group. We observed a negative correlation between test scores and assignment submission time in the early group (r = − 0.59, P < 0.001) but not in the intermediate or late groups. Conclusions On-demand classes give university students the opportunity to choose when they wish to study. Remote education offers a certain amount of freedom and encourages students’ initiative; however, our results suggest that some students cannot make the best use of on-demand lecture characteristics and act appropriately. Therefore, while taking advantage of on-demand education during COVID-19, it is necessary to consider students’ use of time.
