For any research field to develop and have a lasting impact, there must be a continuous debate about the theoretical foundations of the field, which could be defined as the historically situated and socially constructed conceptual understanding of the phenomena under investigation. In an area such as Maritime Education and Training (MET), which is concerned with professional learning, researchers need to be aware of their own and others’ (often implicit) theoretical assumptions pertaining not only to the conditions under which learning takes place or to what it means to learn but also to the very nature of learning/knowing (for example, Alexander et al. 2009; Illeris 2009; Lachman 199... |
This study reviews literature of simulation-based training and assessment to trace conceptual developments in maritime education and training (MET). Our aim is to highlight and examine the historical trajectory of salient topics in MET with the goal of help developing the field forward. The investigation is based on articles published from 1961 to 2021 (n = 87) on simulation-based training and assessment in maritime academic journals. The first review of its kind in MET, the study combines quantitative topic modelling and qualitative content analyses of exemplary texts. Our study investigates: (a) how training and assessment in simulations are conceptualised in MET research and (b) ho... |
