Advancing Simulation Pedagogies in MET
摘要
This final chapter offers a reflective synthesis of the preceding contributions, drawing together insights from research and practice to consider how simulation pedagogies in maritime education and training (MET) are currently enacted, and how they might be further developed. Against the backdrop of an industry marked by rapid technological innovation, increasing internationalisation, and intensified demands for professional competence, the chapter examines how simulation-based training is situated within broader educational and institutional frameworks. The discussion foregrounds how pedagogical practices are shaped by local conditions, disciplinary traditions, and industry standards. By revisiting key themes across the book, this chapter argues for a pedagogically grounded approach to simulation. Finally, the chapter outlines several directions for developing simulation pedagogies in MET, pointing toward a future in which simulation is not only a site for training, but a space for engaging with the complexities of professional learning in an increasingly technically advanced and globalised maritime sector.
