Abstract

Developing objective assessment approach in maritime simulator training can be a highly challenging task due to the complexity of simulating realistic scenarios, capturing relevant performance indicators and establishing good assessment protocols. This study provides a synthesis of simulation scenario contexts, data collection tools, and data analysis approaches in published simulator training studies. A systematic literature review (SLR) approach was followed for identifying the relevant studies for in-depth content analysis. The findings reveal that the reviewed studies focused on full-mission simulator-based assessment using collected data from various tools including surveys, eye-tracking, ECG, video or voice recording etc. The findings hold relevance in the development of learning analytics for facilitating objective assessment in maritime simulator training.
