The purpose of this study is to examine the educational effects of on-board training as general academic subjects. The results are shown below. (1) From the results of attitude survey of students, it was found that through the on-board training, students increased their appreciation of the importance of "ship" as well as the vocation and character of "seaman". Also, it was suggested that the on-board training was effective in popularizing the maritime affairs. (2) In terms of a change of students' minds after on-board training, the minds of most students changed from the expectation and anxiety before training to the feeling that they had a very valuable experience through training. From this result, it was suggested that the students acquired a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in training. (3) It was found that there were fifteen categories of growth and experience felt by the students. The respective categories were summarized into three groups as follows: "curriculum and environment of on-board training"; "educational effects of group activities and group life"; and "own development and growth". Also, it was inferred that these three larger categories connected each other in the effect of the education.
