The research results include the author’s definition of the term “professionally important qualities of a shipmaster cadet,” a refined list of professionally important qualities of a shipmaster cadet, and recommendations for instructors of special disciplines on the development of professionally important qualities in students. The research and its findings are scientifically novel, theoretically significant, and practically relevant. The research material is of interest to the management and teaching staff of maritime and other educational institutions.
