A METHOD FOR DEVELOPING MARINER ASSESSMENTS
This report presents a systematic method for developing reliable and valid performance based assessments (PBA) of mariner proficiencies. This method is compliant with: the requirements of the International Maritimes Organization's (IMO) "Seafarers' Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code (STCW Code), as amended in 1995; with all relevant US Coast Guard Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circulars (NVIC); with Instructional Systems Development (ISD), and with the best practices of the maritime industry. The method guides the developer through five steps: 1. specify assessment objectives; 2. determine assessment methods; 3. specify assessment conditions; 4. develop proficiency criteria, and 5. prepare the assessment materials. The report provides materials for a developer's workshop, a stand-alone assessment development manual and four sample assessments that have been developed by project participants. Guiding materials for the actual conduct of such assessments are provided in a separate report, R&DC-204.
