The Effects of Marine Simulators on Training
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Simulators have increased its usefulness in marine training over the years. Literature cites its many advantages which should ultimately lead to the increase in sea safety. However, more remarked than the discomfort felt by the trainee due to the lack of human interaction, simulation-training was noted to be costly and does not provide a clear indication of its value in organizations as no information supports this. A comparison of other technology which could be used for training is shown to provide an insight to the probable technology-based alternatives for simulators. In the search for the effects of marine-simulators on training, a few literature indicated its effects. Studies indeed specify favorable effects of simulators to training. However, no definite or quantifiable explanations were shown to relate training to its ultimate purpose of improving sea safety. Studies reviewed explored the effects of training to teamwork and the effects of training on the cognitive abilities of trainees. The Lewin study on the effects of CRM training indicated positive outcomes but was unclear about the link of training effectiveness with safety. The perception study revealed significant results in the perceived change of attitude, knowledge, and skills. The other study was on determining the physiological response related to cognitive activities which revealed that a rise in frequency values was observed during problemsolving in navigational situations. Simulator systems in training institutions were examined to provide a glimpse of how training may be made more effective.
