3 SECTION ONE – GENERAL INFORMATION<br />
3.1 Training principles and targets<br />
This section is intended for instructors. Its purpose is to assist them by providing ways of<br />
tackling objectives and organizing instruction, so that they can meet training targets by taking<br />
into account the context and the candidates being trained.<br />
Main principles<br />
These principles provide guidelines for choosing strategies and methods to meet training goals<br />
and objectives.<br />
• Keep in mind that a person’s ability to learn is closely linked to the strategies and methods<br />
used to meet training objectives.<br />
• Give preference to practical learning activities and projects suited to the work situation and<br />
the real world.<br />
• Encourage active participation and make candidates responsible for their own learning.<br />
• Take into account adults’ academic background and prior experience and incorporate these<br />
into the training.<br />
• Communicate with candidates in proper English and use correct technical terminology.<br />
• Promote reinforcement and absorption of material by gradually increasing complexity and<br />
by making candidates apply what they know to a range of practical situations.<br />
Training targets<br />
The program is intended to develop the skills and abilities needed to pilot a ship in this marine<br />
district. As well, it should strengthen candidates’ ability to form judgments, to analyse and<br />
synthesize, to develop their seaman’s sense, leadership and ability to work in a team, to<br />
withstand stress, and to react appropriately in unforeseen situations. These behaviour patterns<br />
are essential and should be reinforced by the instructor whenever appropriate. They are drawn<br />
from the program objectives.<br />
