A trainee is on board your vessel and will need to be assessed in the demonstration of practical skills. Ideally you should assess their skill __________.
• Skill acquisition stages (observation, practice, mastery) • Difference between theoretical training and hands-on competence • Importance of demonstrated, repeatable performance in safety-critical tasks
• When is a person most likely to show their true, repeatable level of competence: right after seeing something once, or after some other process? • How does actual hands-on practice affect a trainee’s ability to perform safely without close supervision? • Which option best ensures the trainee can perform the skill more than once, correctly, in real conditions?
• Verify which options include both training and personal practice. • Check whether the timing allows the trainee to internalize and repeat the skill, not just copy it once. • Eliminate any options where the trainee has not yet had a chance to practice the skill themselves.
