Summary
Digitalization requires maritime business educators (MBE) to develop five core competencies: Pedagogy, Maritime, Interpersonal, Business, and Digital. These competencies significantly enhance teaching performance in the digital era.
Area of Science:
- Maritime Education
- Business Education
- Digital Transformation
Background:
- Digitalization is reshaping higher education globally.
- Maritime business education (MBE) requires evolving competencies to meet new demands.
Purpose of the Study:
- Identify emerging core competencies for maritime business educators (MBE).
- Examine the impact of these competencies on perceived teaching performance.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review to develop a competency framework.
- Online survey of 196 faculty from top maritime universities.
- Exploratory Factor Analysis and Hierarchical Regression Modeling.
Main Results:
- Five key competencies were identified from 22 sub-competencies.
- Pedagogy, Maritime, Interpersonal, Business, and Digital competencies significantly positively affect teaching performance.
- Competency importance order: Pedagogy, Maritime, Interpersonal, Business, Digital.
Conclusions:
- MBE must cultivate five core competencies for effective digital-era teaching.
- Findings inform educational policy, resource allocation, and training program development.
- Establishes a benchmark for assessing MBE capabilities in a digitized world.

01:11Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies
2.0K
In fluid mechanics, buoyancy and stability are key concepts for understanding the behavior of submerged and floating bodies. When a stationary body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts a force on the body known as the buoyant force. This force acts vertically upward through a point called the center of buoyancy, which is the center of the displaced fluid volume. According to Archimedes' principle, the magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid...

173
The compass is a fundamental instrument that operates by aligning its magnetic needle with Earth's magnetic field. This alignment facilitates navigation and orientation, offering a means to determine direction relative to magnetic north. However, the magnetic needle points to magnetic north, which differs slightly from true geographic north due to magnetic declination, which is the angular deviation between these two points. Declination varies based on geographic location and shifts over time...

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over...
