Influence by Passing of Time to Students' Behavior of Operation on PC Based Engine Room Simulator

抄録

In recent years, the PC based engine room simulator (ERS) has been introduced maritime education and training, and useful for the acquisition of the operational knowledge of the marine engine plant. However, the some part of operational knowledge acquired as a long-term memory might be lost with the passing of time. Therefore this report deals with the influence of students' behavior of performance in ERS. As progressing study, the performance data of the marine engine plant was collected two times. The first data was collected in February of the first grader, and the second data of the same students was collected in a simultaneous period of the second grader after one year. According to the result of the analysis, it became clear that the performance time increased and the operation errors did not increase with the passing of time. Therefore, it is supposed that there is little disappearance of operational knowledge of ERS, and the continuity of education effects of ERS is identified.
