The Authors have researched on the development of Maritime Education and Training Methods in order to improve the effect of training using the onboard ship-handling simulator which was equipped in Ginga Maru. In the experiment, cadets who will take 4^<th> grade maritime officer (students of the National Maritime Polytechnic College) evaluated their own knowledge and skill of "Navigational Watch in the inland sea". At the same time experienced Captain evaluated them. Obtained results are as follows. (1) Appropriate and concrete briefing is effective. (2) Self-evaluation of the cadets will be severe gradually and close to evaluation by expert. (3) Small difference between self-evaluation and expert's evaluation shows that the training is effective. (4) We can know the needed training contents from the knowledge and skill which have large difference between self-evaluation and expert's evaluation. (5) The focus training for the above training contents with onboard ship-handling simulator is effective.
