Application of Pedagogical Learnings - Non-Active Participation of Maritime Students

Abstract

Active participation of the students in the classroom greatly enhances learning outcomes. However, students were usually observed to be not actively participating in the class of a maritime course. This paper brings out the challenges and methodologies of addressing this problem, firstly, using individualistic approach by a teacher utilizing common sense and teaching experience. Thereafter, it reviews the pedagogical literature on the subject and discusses applying these pedagogical practices to calibrate and finetune the teacher response to improve student participation.
