Maritime Program Curriculum Review: Basis on Development of Outcomes-Based Assessment Tool in Collision Regulations (COLREGs)

Abstract

This study developed an outcomes-based assessment tool in collision regulations. The researcher utilized a descriptive-developmental approach. There were one hundred one hundred fifty respondents involved in this study. The developed outcomes-based assessment tool in collision regulations was on the guidelines from statutory and regulatory bodies. Results revealed that the assessment tool obtained an extremely elevated level of usability, acceptability, and applicability with the mean scores between 4.00 and 4.80 for the variables: perceived usefulness; perceived ease of use; compatibility; and perceived risk falling. The tool had useful features, its limitations and perceived risks may impact its adoption and use by stakeholders. There is significant difference among the three groups of respondents: maritime students, faculty/alumni, internship, and ship workers on the level of efficiency of the developed outcomes-based assessment tool. The developed outcomes-based assessment tool in collision regulations improves the quality of assessment in maritime education.
