STCW CONVENTION AS A SYSTEM-FORMING FACTOR OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS AT A MARITIME UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The article discusses issues of professional training of ship operators in accordance with the requirements of the competence standards of the STCW Convention. The role of complexes of educational work tools, aimed at developing operator activity algorithms in the context of mastering their instrumental and communicative components, revealed. The specifics of simulations on the NTPro 5000 simulator with a foreign language communication analyzed. The specifics of using business games on modern simulators in situations of professional interaction are analyzed. Fragments of a business game on a simulator presented along with the results of experimental training, including expert assessment data obtained during swimming practice, confirming our assumption about the effectiveness of the educational process in accordance with the requirements of the STCW Convention, which act as a system-forming factor in determining training goals and technologies for their implementation.
