Advanced learning methods in maritime education and training: A bibliometric analysis on the digitalization of education and modern trends Comput. Appl. Eng. Educ. (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-10-20 Taha Talip Türkistanli
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
