Description

Theoretical frameworks such as Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) have the potential to significantly enhance maritime education, particularly in the context of crisis management training. This research examines the effective implementation of ELT, emphasizing the necessity of integrating practical experience with theoretical knowledge to equip seafarers with the skills to navigate complex challenges in crisis situations. Methodologies such as simulation-based learning, project-based approaches, and immersive technologies facilitate the acquisition of decision-making skills through the provision of realistic experiences. The successful implementation of these methods hinges on several key factors, including their relevance to real-world situations, active participation, reflective thinking, personalized learning, and a supportive learning environment. The incorporation of sustainability and interdisciplinary approaches serves to further equip students to address modern challenges. Educators are of critical importance in the integration of ELT into curricula and the fostering of supportive settings. The implementation of ELT has the potential to markedly enhance students' practical abilities within maritime contexts. Future research may wish to consider the long-term effects of ELT training and the part played by new technologies in experiential learning. It is recommended that maritime education institutions adopt ELT principles more broadly for crisis management training with the objective of developing more skilled and adaptable seafarers.
