Active Learning for Collision Avoidance Complies with COLREGs 1972 by Simulating Navigation via the Web Application

Abstract

The COLREGs 1972 rules are a something that all navigators need to learn, but learning from lectures cannot be as comprehended as actually doing it or learning through simulations. The disadvantage is that it is a high investment and can support few students. The Merchant Marine Training Centre has developed navigational simulation system is CASim for management active learning about the COLREGs 1972 rules. The purposes of this research were to 1) assess the quality of the navigational simulation system is CASim by experts, 2) compare the learning outcomes of management active learning combined with the CASim navigational simulation system with traditional learning, and 3) assess satisfaction of learner. The sample is Merchant Marine Cadets enrolled in navigational watchkeeping subjects in the first semester of 2022 and 2023 included 120 cadets through cluster random sampling. The research instruments were 1) a navigational simulation system CASim, 2) a quality assessment form is CASim, 3) the learning outcome test, and
4) a questionnaire to measure satisfaction. The data were analyzed using means, standard deviation, and the t-test. The results were as follows: 1) the quality of the navigational simulation system is CASim overall the experts were at a high level, 2) learning outcomes of management active learning combined with the CASim navigational simulation system were higher than traditional learning at the .05 significant level, and 3) overall learner satisfaction is at a high level.
