Abstract

In developing countries, the establishment of maritime colleges and the training of excellent merchant marine officers can greatly impact on the growth of the marine industry in a given country. The project to establish the Kenya Maritime College ('KMC') has been driven by the Kenyan government, which has been challenged by the growth of the marine industry in Korea. This study aims to the development of curriculum for the navigation science department of the KMC. To do this, firstly the Kenyan environments was surveyed. Then, IMO maritime education requirements, IMO model courses and curriculums from the navigation science departments of major maritime universities around the world were reviewed. Lastly, based on these surveys and reviews, curriculum for the navigation science department of the KMC was developed. This curriculum is comprised of an educational course that requires a total of 5 years of study, including 1 year of on-board training and a total of 200 credit hours (20 credit hours per semester). Although this curriculum has been developed to fit the environments of Kenya, it is expected to offer a point of reference for similar studies in other countries with the goal of standardizing maritime education internationally.

개발도상국에서 해양대학의 설립과 우수한 해기사의 양성은 해당 국가의 해양산업발전에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 한국의 해양산업발전에 도전을 받은 케냐 정부에 의해 케냐해양대학의 설립을 위한 프로젝트가 추진되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 케냐해양대학을 위한 항해학과 교과과정을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 케냐의 환경을 조사하였고, 이어서 IMO 해기교육요건, 모델코스 및 세계 주요 해양대학의 항해학과 교과과정을 검토하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 케냐해양대학 항해학과 교과과정을 개발하였다. 개발된 교과과정은 승선실습 1년을 포함하여 총 5년이 소요되는 과정이며, 총 200학점(매학기 20학점)을 이수하도록 되어 있다. 이 교과과정은 비록 케냐의 환경에 맞추어 개발된 것이지만, 국제적으로 표준화된 해기교육의 특성상 다른 국가의 유사한 연구에도 좋은 참고가 될 것으로 기대된다.
