A Study for the Construction of On-Board Training Curriculum of Taiwan Navigation Education / 臺灣航海教育海上實習制度建構之研究

博士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 航運管理學系 / 98 / All industries need talents, and talents are developed through education. And talents are the fundamental of every long-term plan. Taiwan navigation education specifically focuses on developing navigation professionals. Navigation functions focus on skill level of operations, nowadays, the trend of navigation industry is to design high-speed, large-sized, and technology-based ships, hence, the on-board sea training curriculum is relatively critical.
Internship training curriculum is an indispensable part in talent development process; therefore, the completeness of internship training mechanism will make impact on students’ willingness on joining navigation industry. Taiwan Higher Education of Navigation does not equip with training ships, furthermore, all the long range sea training curriculums were executed by the local operating fleets, also rely on shipping vender to provide cadet quota, and the curriculum and training courses were voluntarily and randomly delivered by the seafarers on the ship. Ships are difficult to reach by school education due to the ship navigates overseas most of the time, so in the long run, the expectations of the internship training curriculum resulted in gaps and issues among the enterprise, schools, internship students and the seafarers.
Traditionally, people do not highly praise about navigation related job due to the nature of navigation job-away from the land, isolation, and full of uncertainties. Therefore, the island countries did not value navigation education a lot. The sea internship training curriculum is attached to recourses which were provided by industry, and because the resources are decreasing year by year, the sea internship training curriculum mechanism was forced to modify several times. Even more, recent Higher Education of Navigation lowered all sea internship training curriculum as elective courses. The future of navigation education really needs more attention.
This research starts from studying the needs of navigation human resources, and then extends to navigation education. Under the common characteristics of global navigation job, after following STCW Convention which was set up by International Maritime Organization, referring America, Japan and other countries’ sea internship training curriculum, analyzing current internship training curriculum of Taiwan general higher education and historic literature, the questionnaire was designed in 9 criterion and covered 3 dimensions-the involvement of planning, implementation, and the output of sea internship training curriculum. The study invited experts and professionals from industry, education and Government, analyzed and weighted questions by Analytic Hierarchy Process, used 9 criterion questions to come out a semi-constructive questionnaire, interviewed decision makers who are involved in local sea training curriculum, and then came out the conclusions.
The study found out that the most critical issue of Taiwan sea internship training curriculum is lacking of training ships resource. However, the operating cost of acquiring training ships is extremely expensive and is not easy to obtain in a short term. In order to maintain the completeness of navigation education and re-establish the niche of Taiwan navigation education, this study proposed to construct sea internship training curriculum mechanism, to consolidate internship training resources and to evaluate the effectiveness after the internship training curriculum.
