Abstract:
To become a professional master mariner one has to develop many different skills and have an understanding of how to act in different situations on the bridge. Within the master mariner program at Chalmers Technical University, Sweden, simulation technologies are used to evolve pertinent skills within this professional program. A challenge is how to develop professional competencies through traditional peda¬gogical practices but also harvests and engrains tacit knowledge as part of the learning outcomes. By using an adaptive Multi-Layered Design approach in combination with game based learning; this paper proposes how to guide the student through a more summative outcome. The main idea is to grant limited access to what the student can do with a function and then encourage experienced behavior to get them to understand the logical approach behind selections and to think through why and when they should do things.
