Sažetak
Global standards of maritime education and training (MET) mandated by the International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watch-keeping for Seafarers while provide an excellent framework for development of competency based curriculum they clearly fall short of identifying the contents of educational inputs leading to wide diversity in the curriculum standards. Aside from such undesirable variance in the MET standards the methodology adopted for transfer of knowledge finds no mention in the internationally prescribed standards which in unison are detrimental to the desirable competence implicated in number of maritime accidents. The paper examines the suitability of group-leaning process that espouse the philosophy that the measure of competence should be based on performance rather than on the possession of knowledge and skills; on understanding rather than enhanced repertoire of knowledge; on the process of transfer of knowledge and skills moving from teacher-centred learning to student-centred learning to promote understanding with particular reference to the application of group-learning processes, that take a holistic view of all pertinent factors affecting performance.
