Annex 2 - Example of a Model Course Syllabus in a Subject Area
Subject area: Ship construction
Prerequisite: Have a broad understanding of shipyard practice
General aims: Have knowledge of materials used in shipbuilding, specification of
shipbuilding steel and process of approval
Textbooks: No specific textbook has been used to construct the syllabus, but the
instructor would be assisted in preparation of lecture notes by referring to
suitable books on ship construction, such as Ship Construction by Eyers
(T12) and Merchant Ship Construction by Taylor (T58)

Part C3: Detailed Teaching Syllabus
• Introduction
The detailed teaching syllabus is presented as a series of learning objectives. The objective, therefore, describes what the trainee must do to demonstrate that the specified knowledge or skill has been transferred.
Thus each training outcome is supported by a number of related performance elements in which the trainee is required to be proficient. The teaching syllabus shows the Required performance expected of the trainee in the tables that follow.
In order to assist the instructor, references are shown to indicate IMO references and publications, textbooks and teaching aids that instructors may wish to use in preparing and presenting their lessons.
The material listed in the course framework has been used to structure the detailed teaching syllabus; in particular,
Teaching aids (indicated by A) IMO references (indicated by R) and Textbooks (indicated by T)
will provide valuable information to instructors.
• Explanation of information contained in the syllabus tables
The information on each table is systematically organized in the following way. The line at the head of the table describes the FUNCTION with which the training is concerned. A function means a group of tasks, duties and responsibilities as specified in the STCW Code. It describes related activities which make up a professional discipline or traditional departmental responsibility on board.
The header of the first column denotes theCOMPETENCE concerned. Each function comprises a number of competences. For example, the Function 3, Controlling the Operation of the Ship and Care for Persons on board at the Management Level, comprises a number of COMPETENCES. Each competence is uniquely and consistently numbered in this model course.
In this function the competence isControl trim, stability and stress. It is numbered 3.1, that is the first competence in Function 3. The term "competence" should be understood as the application of knowledge, understanding, proficiency, skills, experience for an individual to perform a task, duty or responsibility on board in a safe, efficient and timely manner.
Shown next is the required TRAINING OUTCOME. The training outcomes are the areas of knowledge, understanding and proficiency in which the trainee must be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding. Each COMPETENCE comprises a number of training outcomes. For example, the above competence comprises three training outcomes. The first is concerned with FUNDAMENTAL RRINCIPLES OF SHIP CONSTUCTION, TRIM AND STABILITY. Each training outcome is uniquely and consistently numbered in this model course. That concerned with fundamental principles of ship construction, trim and stability is uniquely numbered 3.1.1. For clarity, training outcomes are printed in black type on grey, for example TRAINING OUTCOME.
Finally, each training outcome embodies a variable number of Required performances - as evidence of competence. The instruction, training and learning should lead to the trainee meeting the specified Required performance. For the training outcome concerned with fundamental principles of ship construction, trim and stability there are three areas of performance. These are:
Shipbuilding materials
Welding
Bulkheads
Following each numbered area of Required performance there is a list of activities that the trainee should complete and which collectively specify the standard of competence that the trainee must meet. These are for the guidance of teachers and instructors in designing lessons, lectures, tests and exercises for use in the teaching process. For example, under the topic 3.1.1.1, to meet the Required performance, the trainee should be able to:
· state that steels are alloys of iron, with properties dependent upon the type and amounts of alloying materials used
· state that the specifications of shipbuilding steels are laid down by classification societies
· state that shipbuilding steel is tested and graded by classification society surveyors who stamp it with approval marks
and so on.
IMO references (Rx) are listed-in the column to the right-hand side. Teaching aids (Ax), videos (Vx) and textbooks (Tx) relevant to the training outcome and required performances are placed immediately following the TRAINING OUTCOME title.
It is not intended that lessons are organized to follow the sequence of Required performances listed in the tables. The syllabus tables are organized to match with the competence in the STCW Code Table A-ll/2. Lessons and teaching should follow college practices- It is not necessary, for example, for shipbuilding materials to be studied before stability. What is necessary is that all the material is covered and that teaching is effective to allow trainees to meet the standard of the Required performance.

CARE FOR PERSONS ON BOARD AT THE MANAGEMENT LEVEL
