Training different fields of science and technology in the high education system reflects the fact that in addition to theoretical training, practical training and skills are also taken into consideration. Job skills and educating professional and skillful staff are very important in marine science. This study’s qualitative and it has aimed to design a model for marine science internship education and training. In order to achieve this aim, the maritime experts who had executed the last three years internship of Imam Khomeini Maritime University, were selected. Using stratified sampling, these experts’ key beneficiaries’ expectations, including deck officers, ship management Marine logistics officers, mechanic engineering and electronic engineering (technical engineering) officers, were collected through open response questionnaire. In addition, the content was analyzed based on the vision, mission and goals of Imam Khomeini Maritime University. Then the indicators of promotion in marine science internship were specified through the focal group of these experts, who are in charge of education and training of Imam Khomeini Maritime University’s cadets. Also, the management practices associated with these indicators was developed. Based on studies on strategic training models, education patterns and the maritime and training experts’ desired components in the open response questionnaire, a conceptual model was designed and suggested to the Maritime University in order to possess a codified strategy of implanting marine science internship.

Using qualitative and quantitative mixed method, the relationship between training strategies and professional development of Iranian seafarers and education in maritime simulators, was studied in this research. For the statistical analysis of quantitative data, binomial test was used in order to examine the effect of the variable on education and, Friedman test was used to examine and rank the effective factors on teaching and education programs. This research concluded that, the training is not limited to activities that happen in the classroom and it depends on a variety of factors. In order to use simulators in the most effective way, we should consider these variables. Organizational and social culture, maintaining maritime safety culture, management skills, seafarer’s ability in reducing human factors, standardizing simulator training scenarios, reviewing the model courses, increasing the ratio of time spent on practical section in relation to the theoretical section, using a standard evaluation system to improve maritime skills, using new training methods, conducting training for simulator trainers and assessors and accessing web based simulator are the factors that influence the seafarer’s performance.

The goal of this research is to examine the relationship between in-service training and learning organization components in Imam Khomeini Maritime University. Research method is descriptive survey and the population includes 340 personnel of Imam Khomeini Maritime University who have more than 10 years’ job experience at the university. Then 191 of them were selected randomly based on Morgan sampling table. In addition to library resources and observation, a questionnaire was used in data collection procedure. Inferential and descriptive statistical analyses were done. In order to test the research questions, Pearson correlation test, Spearman test and one-way analysis of variance and Kolmogorof - Smirnov test were run. Results of research indicated that there is a significant correlation between marine in-service training and Mental Models as well as Team Learning and Shared Vision Components, but there is no significant correlation between marine in-service training and Personal Mastery and system approach components, therefore, there is a significant positive correlation between marine in-service training and learning organization (p-value

The purpose of this study was anticipating the relationship between mental health and job performance based on personality characteristics of Iranian Navy military service officers. The population was 160 Navy military service officers and all of them were chosen as the final sample. Data was collected via mental health (GHQ), Paterson’s job performance and Neo personality characteristic questionnaires and it was analyzed through correlation coefficient. The result of statistical analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between mental health and teacher’s Job performance with teacher’s personality character. Step by step regration analysis showed that extroversion, neuroticism and conscientiousness anticipate mental health. Elimination and neuroticism anticipate job performance. The total view of this result indicated that the best variable that anticipates the mental health and job performance was extroversion item. The results showed the necessity of attention to personality characteristics of a Navy military service officer for appointing him to different jobs especially as a teacher.

The present study aimed at investigating the extent of effectiveness of longitudinal courses held at Imam Khomeini Maritime University on realization of the educational objectives of strategic navy. The population of this study was all the middle and high level managers and commanders of navy who have at least five years of experience in managing and commanding (691 persons) from whom 212 persons were selected as the sample of the study through categorical random sampling. Library research was used for collecting data needed for literature review and a modified questionnaire was employed for testing the hypotheses. Cranach alpha (α=0.921) was used to calculate the reliability of the questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by survey and gathering expert's ideas. The collected data was analyzed through descriptive statistics. In order to test the hypotheses and find out the relationship between the variables, one sample t-test was used, using SPSS software. Independent variable of the study was longitudinal courses of the university including B.S., Advanced officers, and M.S. Moreover, its dependent variable was the extent of realization of strategic navy’s objectives. Data analysis revealed that all the hypotheses were confirmed which means that longitudinal courses held at the university were in line with strategic objectives of navy and also the extent of the impact of such courses on the determined indexes of strategic objectives of navy was specified.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between education and training of manpower in strategic navy and optimal development of Makran coasts. Therefore, the hypotheses of the study were defined as: 1- There is a significant relationship between Marine officers’ training and optimal development of Makran coasts, 2- There is a significant relationship between in-service training and optimal development of Makran coasts, and 3- There is a significant relationship between Marine petty officers’ training and optimal development of Makran coasts. This is a descriptive correlative research. The data was collected through questionnaire and its content validity and reliability were calculated (α=0.87). Descriptive statistics was used in order to describe data and the hypotheses of the research were tested by using inferential statistics and also SPSS software. Among 700 officers and Marine petty officers, 248 of them were selected randomly and the hypotheses were tested. The analysis of the data showed that the theories of the research have been confirmed with assurance of 95%.
