LEVEL OF AWARENESS OF THE MARITIME STUDENTS ON THE OUTCOMES BASED EDUCATION

Related Papers

IJESRT Journal

Outcome-based Education (OBE) has become the center of educational reform across the country. OBE is a process that involves the changing of academic performance practices in education by assessment and reporting to reflect the achievement of high order learning and mastery rather than the accumulation of course credits (Caguimbal et.al.,2013 and Tucker, 2004). Naval State University adopted and implemented OBE across the University including Maritime Education. However, no study has been conducted to investigate on the awareness of Maritime Students of NSU on Outcome-based Education. In this study, the researchers aimed at assessing the awareness of Maritime Students on OBE in terms of its advantages, disadvantages and on the different activities undertaken in relation to the implementation of OBE. The researchers employed descriptive research method wherein ninety (90) Maritime students were randomly selected as respondents. Results showed that OBE promotes the acquisition of the specific skills and competencies in a country in which there are many skills shortages is the utmost advantage of OBE. However, people with vested interests and strong personalities in standard-generating bodies may manipulate the standard-setting process to achieve their own objectives, the utmost disadvantage of OBE according to the students per results gathered from their answers-this supports the findings of Gutiera, et. (2015). Educational/Professional achievement of Instructors is the factor which greatly affects the implementation of OBE in Naval State University particularly in the College of Maritime Education wherein the study was conducted. Actual Demonstration was found out to be the most effective activity in the implementation of OBE which will lead to the improvement of the students' academic performance thereby making them world-class graduates.

Outcome-based education (OBE) has an intuitive appeal that hooks people. Simply set the outcomes you expect students to achieve, then teach and research in as many different ways and for as long as it takes until everyone meets them. In its simplest form, the OBE process virtually guarantees every student an education. Outcome-based education (OBE) has a potential for enrichment of cognitive, affective and psychomotor outcomes of learners. Outcome-based education Advocate that education cannot be done simply by the spread of knowledge from the teachers to the learners. Relatively, knowledge is constructed by learners through dynamic and intellectual process of development; learners are the builders and creators of meaningful knowledge. It refers to the idea that learners construct knowledge for themselves. In traditional scenario of education, teacher centered approaches were used in which a teacher transmits information to students who passively listen and acquire facts while during Outcome-based education, learner centered approaches are used in which students are actively involved in their learning to reach new understandings, so each learner individually and socially develop their skills to construct meaning as they learn. This new experience facilitates learners to modify their previous meaning about the phenomena; this reform has been driven by educators in response to demands for greater accountability by taxpayers and as a vehicle for breaking with traditional ideas about how we teach our children. If implemented, this approach to curriculum development could change our schools more than any other reform proposal in the last thirty years.

To be able to cope up with the international standards of foreign universities and colleges, higher education in the Philippines are seeking new ways of designing education to improve the existing educational system as well as to prepare learners in facing the challenges of the 21st century. This brings about the shift from the traditional content based education toward Outcomesbased education (OBE). The study aimed to determine the status of implementation in terms of practices and environment as well as its usefulness in terms of academics, attitudes and instructions of OBE for Customs Administration Students of Lyceum of the Philippines University – Batangas (LPU-B). Significant relationship was also tested between the extent of implementation and the level of usefulness of OBE and; and an action plan to address the identified concerns in the implementation of OBE was proposed. This research study provides the LPU-B management where the teaching and non-teaching staffs are presen...

https://www.ijert.org/an-overview-on-outcome-based-education https://www.ijert.org/research/an-overview-on-outcome-based-education-IJERTCONV9IS08009.pdf In today’s world technology is growing rapidly. To cope up with this rapid technological development graduates must have high skillset like problem solving, ability to communicate with others effectively, ability to adopt to new technology quickly etc. These skills cannot be learned by traditional classroom teaching techniques. Hence an effective education system must be designed to meet these require-ments. “Outcome Based Education” is one such education system which got a lot of emphasis from several professors, scholars from all around the world in the recent years [1]. In Outcome Based Education System priority is given to students self-learning rather than learning from what teachers have thought in the classroom. In Outcome Based Education targets are set which need to be acquired by the student by the end of each course and also targets are set which must be obtained by the students by the end of their graduation. In Outcome Based Education lecturers act just as facilitators of knowledge for the students. Outcome Based Education is achieved by effective implem-entation of Course Outcomes (CO’s), Program Outcomes (PO’S) and Program Educational Objectives (PEO’s) in student’s learning curriculum. Outcome Based Educa-tion is continuously developing process.

With the changing landscape of education with limited spaces in universities, high expenditure structures and increased rate of unemployment, many institutions are forced to rethink and re-strategise curriculum design to fit the needs of students and employers rather than the traditional design of designing for a qualification instead of designing for employment. The education and training of the seafaring officers is regulated with the international regulations mainly based on the Standards of Training, Certification and Watch-keeping Convention for Seafarers (STCW) and requires a continuous education that enables them to keep certificates of competencies valid. This situation forces us to consider the application of different types of education and training methods in particular distance and blended education of seafaring officers. The meta-synthesis method is applied to define most suitable postgraduate education for seafaring officers considering their future role in the maritime industry and business, along with applicable distance and blended learning methods matching their working conditions. This study focuses on the online distance learning in the developing environments and uses South African Maritime Education and Training (MET) institutions as a case study. Particular attention is paid to the Durban University of Technology (DUT), which would like to put forwards a case for online distance education for their Maritime Postgraduate qualifications. It is noteworthy to mention that Covid-19 pandemic has proved the necessity of online distance learning in developing environments, and the result of the study has shown the positive interest of this form of education online among the respondents.

Where Protesters on U.S. Campuses Have Been Arrested or Detained

By The New York Times

Police officers and university administrators have clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters on a growing number of college campuses in recent weeks, arresting students, removing encampments and threatening academic consequences. More than 2,300 people have been arrested or detained on campuses across the country.

Campus protests where arrests and detainments have taken place since April 18

The fresh wave of student activism against the war in Gaza was sparked by the arrests of at least 108 protesters at Columbia University on April 18, after administrators appeared before Congress and promised a crackdown. Since then, tensions between protesters, universities and the police have risen, prompting law enforcement to take action in some of America’s largest cities.

An earlier version of this article misstated the number of arrests at Princeton University. There have been 15 arrests, not 14.

Gsas students shine in 2024 three minute thesis competition.

April 30, 2024

Ayla Cordell | Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

The 2024 Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT) at Brandeis Graduate School of Arts & Sciences was not Will Dahl’s first rodeo. “It took me two tries,” the Molecular and Cell Biology PhD student said. “On my first attempt last year, I missed a line and stood silent for what felt like ages. To be honest, I was terrified!” This year, Will took home the first place prize for the Sciences of $1,000 and the overall win. He credits his success to careful planning, refinement, and lots of practice. He focused on formatting his talk as a story that would resonate with a wide audience: “Every sentence must be calibrated to communicate, and there is no room for asides. The talk converges from broader impacts to the actual thesis.”

Explaining your research in just three minutes is a tall order, but on April 5, the third annual 3MT Competition, founded by the University of Queensland , saw ten GSAS students meet that very task. Marika McCann, Associate Director of Professional Development at GSAS and member of the 3MT team, alongside Associate Professor of Anthropology and Faculty Director of Professional Development Jon Anjaria; Anahita Zare of MRSEC ; and Becky Prigge, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at GSAS, said this about the 2024 competitors: “Our team was very impressed with how hard our students worked and the overall enthusiasm they brought to their talks. The audience learned so much from our students in this short time, including the possibility of early detection of Parkinson’s Disease, the importance of examining circadian rhythms, patterns in Honduran ceramics, and Tamil transfeminine performance in post-war Sri Lanka.”

Under the bright white stage lights and looking out upon an audience of friends, family, members of the Brandeis community, and a panel of five judges, finalists took to the Spingold Theatre stage. While it was certainly nerve-wracking, contestants noted the benefits of presenting in this format.

Manning Zhang, who won first place in the Humanities/Creative Arts/Social Sciences category, said the best moment of the competition was standing on the stage for the final round with rushing adrenaline. Acknowledging that few friends and family know about what she researches in Sociology and Health Policy, she began sharing more with them to understand how different people would react to her research. While this helped her prepare for the competition, it ended up holding deeper meaning for Zhang: “It took me a really long time to pursue my research and say, ‘This is meaningful.’ Getting feedback from people and hearing that they understand what I’m doing is really important to me.”

Victoria Khaghani, a Master’s student in Anthropology who was Runner Up in the Humanities/Creative Arts/Social Sciences category, echoed this sentiment. “You have to push yourself pretty hard to be able to condense your research down. But being able to then present my research to my family and have them say, ‘We finally understand what you’re doing,’ where they can understand the importance of it…that was huge.”

While contestants hoped to teach their audience something about their research, some finished the competition having learned new things about themselves. “I really like speaking in front of people,” Pranav Ojha, a Molecular and Cell Biology PhD student, discovered. “Figuring out what words to say, how to communicate them to inspire care - I enjoyed that process, and I’m coming out of it with different career ideas.” His passion for public speaking was evident - Ojha finished the competition with a total $1,250, after winning both Runner Up in the Sciences and the People’s Choice Award, which is determined through audience vote.

The final round may have showcased three minutes of individual presentation, but 3MT thrives as a collective and collaborative effort. “This is one of the only opportunities GSAS students at Brandeis have to share their research with the overall Brandeis community, outside of their departments,” McCann noted. Zhang (Sociology and Health Policy) even reached out to 2022 winner Emiliano Gutierrez-Popoca (PhD English ‘23), whose talk on Master-Servant Relations in Early Modern Drama led him to the National 3MT competition. Though they come from different disciplines, 3MT provided a platform for shared experience, and Popoca helped Zhang revise her draft for the final round. “I’ve gained a lot of rapport with people I didn’t think I could have rapport with…networking is very precious,” Zhang said. The 3MT community at Brandeis continues to strengthen and grow, and we cannot wait for next year!

CA Republican Leaders Call for Cutting Funding for Universities, Students Over Gaza Protests

Republican leaders in the state Legislature said Thursday that funding should be cut for any state university administration that fails to ensure campus safety, and for any students found guilty of illegal acts.

The proposal by Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones of San Diego and Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher of Yuba City came in response to pro-Palestine protests at UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UCLA and other institutions.

“Violence and illegal activity of any kind is not protected by the First Amendment,” said Jones at a press conference in Sacramento. “The administrations must swiftly regain control of the situation and guarantee a secure learning environment for our students.”

“Taxpayers should not be bankrolling administrations that falter in upholding law and order on campus,” he said.

The two lawmakers also said state-funded grants should be cut for students found guilty and suspended for their involvement in any illegal acts.

“All Californians have a right to express their views but that right ends when you carry out acts of violence, destruction of property, and trample upon the right of others, the rights of fellow students to learn,” said Gallagher.
