“…Maritime transportation courses need to incorporate innovative pedagogical approaches in the responsiveness dimension, such as guest lectures, game-based learning, and problem-solving education [21,40], to encourage a shift in thinking and attitudes toward environmentally friendly behavior. In the assurance dimension, the HEIs should ensure that teachers and other staff possess sufficient relevant expertise in maritime transportation to guide their students in their career planning [42]. Additionally, student-centered educational philosophy should be emphasized in the empathy dimension to strengthen the students' satisfaction, engagement, and performance [33].…”

“…The school-ente cooperative training model has been emerging and popular in China in recent Therefore, the HEIs are encouraged to establish collaboration relations with industr terprises, such as port operators and shipping companies [51]. To align with the e tional trends in maritime transportation, the HEIs must enhance the teaching faciliti environments in the tangibility dimension [42]. In terms of the reliability dimensio multi-disciplinary curriculums and programs need to focus on the involvement of try professionals to prepare students for the workforce [51].…”

“…In addition, high-quality education is also essential for the advancement of maritime transportation. In this view, Koh et al identified six quality dimensions and 29 measurement items for maritime programs from students' perspectives based on exploratory factor analysis [42]. Liu et al surveyed maritime undergraduate students' perceptions of associated programs to better understand education and career paths [43].…”

“…Maritime transportation is widely recognized as one of the significant pillars anchored to economic growth, social stability, and environmental issues. According to the UNCTAD reports, about 80% of the world's trade volume is transported by sea [42]. Moreover, maritime transportation enables the delivery of oversized cargo volumes with low costs and less environmental pollution [43].…”

Evaluation of Student-Perceived Service Quality in Higher Education for Sustainable Development: A Fuzzy TODIM-ERA Method

et al. 2022

Evaluating and prioritizing the service quality of higher education is an essential issue for the successful implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This study investigates an evaluation framework to assess the performances of higher education institutes (HEIs) within the context of ESD based on student-perceived service quality. First, a conceptual model of the evaluation indicator system is explored by embedding sustainability-related indicators into the fuzzy SERVQUAL scale. Then, the evaluation of student-perceived service quality can be thought of as a problem of multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) that involves uncertainty and bounded rationality. Thus, an evaluation technique called hybrid fuzzy TODIM-ERA is proposed to address such evaluation problems by synthesizing the theoretical strengths of the intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, the evidential reasoning algorithm (ERA), and the TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese for interactive and multicriteria decision-making). Finally, a case study of five Chinese HEIs in maritime transportation is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed framework. Results provide the ranking order of all the alternative HEIs and the improvement strategies of each HEI for student-perceived service quality dimensions.

“…Considering that several studies in the evaluation category also propose new methods it is possible to argue that theoretical and methodological development is rather abundant. The subject in this type of work mainly focuses on simulation training but also includes plenty of topics on different teaching methods [8,10,54,90,121,128,169]. Review and case studies are the main categories of work for methodological and theoretical articles.…”

The minimum requirements in maritime education and training (MET) are set by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). First established in 1978, the STCW convention standardized educational procedures for seafarers. Since then, it has become the most influential regulatory document for maritime education. The STCW code had major revisions in 1995 and 2010. These amendments were in response to the recognized need to bring the Convention up to date. However, it has been over a decade since the latest amendments came into force, and over the past decade, new educational technologies and digital educational methods have developed significantly. Not only that, but technologies used onboard ships have also advanced considerably. Today, digitalization and the fourth industrial revolution are rapidly reshaping the maritime industry, as well as maritime education. These issues coupled with the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic increased the need for more advanced training tools and methods in MET. Concerns are rising regarding the need for more comprehensive rules that will better reflect today's educational needs and progress in the literature. This paper takes a first step toward addressing these issues by improving the understanding of the currently used advanced teaching methods in MET. This bibliometric review provides developments in the field from the perspective of educators and researchers. As a result, we discovered several narratives and literature gaps in MET. This article reviews the currently investigated subjects and topics, used educational tools and equipment, types of research, and main influencers in MET research. The field is still newly developing, but at a rapid pace. Newly developed tools and methods are increasing, but advances are also constrained because they are made to fit the decade‐old regulations.
