ABSTRACT Rubrics are assessment tools without which students have no guidelines towards their achievement or to understand the teacher's feedback. Although, traditionally designed by educators, students have been engaged to co-construct rubrics with their teachers. The authors of this paper set out to investigate the difference in the academic achievement (measured using assessment scores) when students are excluded versus included in rubric design. This paper presents the first phase of investigation when the students were excluded from rubric design intended to be used for the authentic assessment of their competence in the use of leadership skills. The authentic assessment was implemented as a formative assessment in the form of two separate and distinct assessments. The students were provided feedback on their performance in the first task using the rubrics constructed by the educators. The assessment scores revealed a significant number of students used the feedback to improve their academic achievement. Future research will present findings from the second phase of investigation when the students will co-create the rubrics and its impact on their academic achievement will be studied.

ABSTRACT Historically, people have for a long time been using the seas to migrate perilously in unseaworthy boats and risking their lives primarily for safe havens when fleeing persecution or for gaining better economic opportunities in countries of destination. This kind of unsafe migration by sea continues even in the challenging times of countries trying to manage the global pandemic Covid-19. Governing maritime movements is as it is a complex challenge and Covid-19, by raising public health concerns and triggering border-closures across the world, has added to its complexity. Taking the case of Rohingyas, the world’s largest stateless minority who have been trying to seek refuge in Southeast Asian countries by taking perilous journeys through the Bay of Bengal, this article analyses the COVID-ification of migration by sea that has pitted the human rights of non-refoulement and rescue at sea against the sovereign responsibility of states to protect public health of citizenry.

ABSTRACT Past research shows seafarer students perceive traditional assessment methods used in maritime education and training (MET) institutes as disengaging, making them adopt surface-learning approaches towards acquiring essential knowledge and skills required for the workplace. Instead of developing skills that may be transferred to shipboard tasks, disengaged seafarer students focus only on achieving the minimum score required to attain a ‘pass’ grade for their certification. In this paper, a quantitative research methodology is developed to investigate seafarer students’ perception of authenticity to workplace tasks in decontextualised traditional assessments versus authentic assessments conducted in real world contexts. The methodology will further correlate the perceptions to student achievement (measured using assessment scores) in the assessment tasks. The paper describes the research design and identifies the ethical issues. Procedures to address validity and reliability of the research are also established. Future research aims to implement the methodology to conduct research in a selected educational institute and a unit of competence. However, this paper acknowledges that the methodology should be replicated in other educational institutes for different units of competence to compare and generalise findings.

ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a research study conducted aiming to educate maritime design students with maritime Human Factors (HF) and Human-Centred Design (HCD) theoretical concepts and to motivate them to utilise that knowledge in the design process. The final year maritime design students at the Australian Maritime College were facilitated throughout a year of a planned HCD scaffolding program based on a pedagogical framework. Action Research was used as the methodological framework, which is considered appropriate for studying the effectiveness of a teaching intervention. The overall effect of the program was determined through records maintained in the researcher’s journal, response from a questionnaire, an interview, and from the results of a design project report review. The findings demonstrated that the contribution of such a program raised awareness and understanding of HCD and maritime HF among the students. Also, the findings of this paper highlighted the fact that the fresh mind of a maritime design undergraduate is the best state to integrate HF and HCD knowledge which provides enduring benefits for the industry and for shaping ships for people. Besides, possible improvements for future delivery of this program were also identified.

ABSTRACT The US Indo-Pacific Strategy is a major new regional strategic initiative, which is widely regarded as the focus of anti-China. On the multilateral front, the proposal is represented by the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue among the United States, Japan, Australia, and India, which was resumed in 2017 after a 10-year hiatus. Washington's own Indo-Pacific Strategy has drawn on years of confabulations with these like-minded states. Washington feels threatened that Beijing, as a competitor, may alter the balance of power in its favour, thereby endangering its hegemony. Beijing is emerging as the dominant power in the Indo-Pacific, raising the question of whether the Indo-Pacific Strategy will besiege China. We argue that China is no longer in siege position because the strategic interests of Japan and India are converging with those of China. These convergences show that China is benign rather than aggressive towards key regional players. The recent consensus on fundamental issues such as the China–India border, the Beijing-Tokyo Senkaku islands, and military cooperation is a significant milestone in ameliorating bilateral relations.

ABSTRACT Recently, the Saudi KSACORS network GNSS stations were developed by Saudi Geodetic Commission for Survey (GCS) to maintain an accurate GNSS positioning solution within Saudi Arabia coverage area. This paper evaluates the performance of real-time KSACORS-based network-RTK (NRTK) GNSS positioning solution for Saudi coastal maritime navigation and investigates whether the achieved accuracy can meet the International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards. To examine the performance of the real-time KSACORS-based NRTK GNSS positioning solution accuracy, kinematic data from a dual frequency GNSS data that collected onboard a vessel was processed with the KSACORS-based NRTK GNSS positioning techniques and compared with the post-processed PPK GNSS positioning solution. The root-mean-squares error (RMS) of the 2D horizontal position for the real-time KSACORS-based NRTK GNSS solution was estimated and was investigated whether RMS can fulfill the IMO standards for Saudi coastal maritime navigation. It is shown that the real-time KSACORS-based NRTK GNSS positioning solution fulfills IMO requirements at 95% confidence level for the three major phases identified as Ocean/Coastal/Port approach/Inland waterway, in port navigation and automatic docking with an accuracy requirement ranges from 10 to 0.1 m.

ABSTRACT New maritime route through the Thai Canal has been proposed since the seventeenth century that would connect the Gulf of Thailand with the Andaman Sea. This waterway is estimated to become an alternate route as opposed to the current routes like the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of the Thai Canal implication to Vietnamese maritime industry will be comprehensively analysed, considering o political, economic, sociological, legal, environmental, and security aspects. We find that the routes through the Thai Canal are largely beneficial to Vietnam, particularly economic aspect. Finally, several policies to maritime business are proposed to boost and reshape the Vietnamese maritime economy.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to demonstrate a main thesis of Philip Steinberg’s theory of territorial political economy that identifies the notion that the natural condition of a geographical phenomenon influences the situation of its material organisation of society, and, in turn, the content of the corresponding social construction of the geographical phenomenon. In the case of this paper, the sea of the Taiwan Strait provided a given natural condition. The strategies of the state governing Taiwan and the balance of military power across the Strait became critical factors of the material organisations utilising the Taiwan Strait. This paper thus demonstrates that different state strategies and the changing balance of military power in the three phases between 1949 and 2008 in post-War Taiwan resulted in various constructions of the ocean by the ROC Armed Forces. When the ROC’s strategies were offensive (or tactically aggressive), and when the ROC’s military forces were confident to defeat the PLA on the sea, the military construction of the ocean followed the pattern of the Mediterranean Sea Model. When the ROC’s strategy became defensive and its military attempted to avoid battles on the sea, the construction of the ocean transformed into one of the Indian Ocean Model.

ABSTRACT This paper assesses the prospects for the implementation of multi-level governance of maritime security in the Sulu-Celebes Sea Tri-Border Area, noting the interdependencies within its terrestrial-maritime environments. It draws on the lessons of multi-level governance practices in the Baltic Sea region. A multi-level governance framework of maritime security in the Baltic Sea region is elaborated to identify the key characteristics of multi-level governance that are important prerequisites for an integrated (land-sea) nexus in maritime security management. Through the examination of the functionality of these characteristics in the Sulu-Celebes Sea, the paper discusses the implications of the existence, and or the lack, of these main characteristics of a functional multi-level governance and assesses the prospects of such governance within the Sulu-Celebes Sea. The ‘common seas’ nature of the semi-enclosed sea and the entanglement of transboundary, land-maritime dimensions of the maritime security challenges imply the need for a distinct form of governance, for which the Baltic Sea region can provide lessons learnt.
