A Methodological Framework for Evaluating Maritime Simulation

The application of simulation courses, according to Standard of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) conversion, is addressed in the education of marine deck and engine officers in order to familiarize them with working environment, emergency contingency training and trouble shooting. This paper presents a framework which evaluates the simulator courses according to participant concerns and level of use. This framework is an innovative concept which tries to identify how the contributors think and work in this virtual environment. The results of this framework are based on student concerns, reactions and level of use with respect to the exercise and efficiency of simulation training courses at the Merchant Marine Academy of Engine Officers on Chios Island. The main goal of the research is to promote a general framework which can be easily applied to any marine simulation course and will be of use to the instructor for reorganizing, redesigning and configuring simulation courses according to their participants.
