HED MEMORANDUM ORDER (CMO) No. 20 Series of 2015 SUBJECT: CONSOLIDATED POLICIES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MARINE TRANSPORTATION (BSMT) AND BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MARINE ENGINEERING (BSMarE) PROGRAMS In accordance with 1) the pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwise known as the “Higher Education Act of 1994” that mandates the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to set minimum standards for higher education programs without abridgement of the curricular freedom of universities and colleges except for minimum unit requirements for specific academic programs; general education distribution requirements as may be determined by the Commission; and specific professional subjects as may be stipulated by various licensing entities; 2) CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 2 Series of 2011 that revised the Guidelines in the formulation of CHED Policies, Standards and Guidelines of Academic Programs to hew more closely to the Constitutional provision of academic freedom in all institutions of higher learning and Section 13 of RA 7722; 3) CHED CMO No. 46 Series of 2012 that advocates the shift to tearning competency- based policies, standards and guidelines in higher education programs as well as outcomes-based quality assurance, among others; 4) the International Convention ‘on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended that set the global learning competency-based standards for maritime education and training; and by virtue of the Commission en banc Resolution No. 203-2015 dated 12 May 2015, the following consolidated policies, standards and guidelines are hereby adopted and promulgated by the Commission. ARTICLE I INTRODUCTION Section 1, Rationale and Background In 2005, qualified technical experts and representatives from the academe, industry, professional organizations, concerned government agencies and other stakeholder groups reviewed the Policies, Standards and Guidelines (PSGs) that governed the operation of maritime higher education programs (MHEIs) at the time, to ensure their compliance with national standards, the STCW requirements, and other relevant international laws and conventions. This review resulted in the consolidation of three (3) PSGs implemented by the Commission on Higher Page | of 37 Higher Education Development Center Building, CP. Garcia Ava., UP Campus, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines Web Site: www.ched.qovph Tel. Nos. 441-1177, 385-4301, 441-1169, 441-1149, 441-1170Education (CHED) from 1997 to 1999: CMO No, 51 Series of 1997 (Policies, Standards and Guidelines for Maritime Education); CMO No. 38 Series of 1998 (Supplemental Policies, Standards and Guidelines to CMO 51); and CMO No. 10 Series of 1999 (Amendments to CMO No. 51 Series of 1997 and CMO No. 38 Series of 1998 (Policies, Standards and Guidelines for Maritime Education). In 2010, the Conference of parties to the STCW Convention held in Manila on 21-25 June 2010 adopted the Manila Amendments to the 1978 STCW Convention. These amendments updated the standards of competence required of marine deck and engineering officers at the operational level particularly, in light of emerging technologies, new training and certification requirements and methodologies, and medical fitness standards for seafarers among others, and ultimately for shipping companies to have a safe, secure and efficient shipping operation on cleaner oceans. In view of the foregoing and in furtherance of the ongoing paradigm shift to learning competency-based standards in Philippine higher education, CHED issued CMO No. 13 and CMO No, 14 Series of 2013 (PSGs on Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation and Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering, respectively) to align the two undergraduate degree programs with national academic standards, industry needs and international standards. The crafting of the two Amendments and Supplemental Policies, Standards and Guidelines to CMO 13 and 14 Series of 2013 was enlightened by the new model courses of the International Maritime Organization as approved by the General Assembly of the STW 44 Meeting on 3 May 2013. ‘At the same time, the General Assembly accepted another model course on Leadership and Teamwork for inclusion in the Model courses for OIC Navigational Watch and OIC Engineering Watch. Against the backdrop of substantive model course changes that were approved a few days before the formal issuance on 14 May 2013 of CMO 13 and 14, CHED directed a mapping of the two programs against the STCW competence requirements as amended and the approved mode! courses The mapping took the following considerations into account: 1) the need to use the competence tables of STCW as the basis; 2) the use of the IMO model courses approved on 3 May 2013 as indicative of the allocation of the number of hours per course; 3) the inclusion of competences from Management Level Courses that do not require shipboard experience in the academic curriculum to enhance the competences of students, following the practice in different parts of the world and a5 required by the shipping companies; 4) the incorporation of the general education courses mandated by CHED for the Bachelor of Science degree programs; and 5) the coverage of courses that form part of the approved Shipboard Training Record Book as well as other requirements such as the handling of radio communication equipment, Global Maritime Distress and Safety Systems (GMDSS) for deck officers as stipulated in Chapter IV of STCW that would give students familiarity with the systems and operation of GMDSS even if they will eventually need a separate COC Page 2of 37for this. The course mapping guided the supplemental amendments of CMOs 13 and 14 to 31 and 32 Series of 2013. The following articles and sections reflect the consolidated CMOs as aforementioned as well as additional revisions in the course maps and curriculum that further enhance the alignment of Philippine maritime education with the STCW as amended. ARTICLE II DEFINITION OF TERMS MARINA: refers to the Maritime Industry Authority, which is the “Maritime Administration” or “Single Maritime Administration”, in accordance with Sec. 2 (e) of R.A. 10635, or simply the “Administration” under STCW; Assessment: the process of measuring the knowledge, skills or competences of individual learners; Evaluation: the process of judging the educational quality of a higher education institution or program by using assessment results to determine its fitness with the accepted/deciared set of standard Competence: the ability that extends beyond the possession of knowledge and skills. It includes 1) the cognitive competence involving the use of theory and concepts as well as informal tacit knowledge gained experientially; 2) functional competence (skills or know-how), those things that a person should be able to do when they work in a particular area; 3) personal competence involving knowing how to conduct oneself in a specific situation; and 4) ethical competence involving the possession of certain personal and professional values. For maritime education, specific cognitive and functional competences are provided in the competence Tables of the STCW Code; Course: An integral component of a degree program with a specific title and description of coverage, learning context and goals, and the learner's responsibilities; Course Specifications: For maritime education, a specification of the competence/knowledge, understanding and proficiencies (KUPs), performance and approximate hours for attaining the standards of STCW as amended. The description of each course—i.e. course title that may include the course number to indicate the sequential/ordinal nature of the course, e.g. English 1 and English 2, description of the coverage of the course, characteristics and content of teaching and learning outcomes, the academic demand and/or responsibility of the student, the independence of students in the pursuit of learning, and the depth of learning in the course shall be contained in the course specifications; Page 3 of 37Course Syllabus : a collection of elements that shows the plan for the delivery of the course which includes competence; KUP and topics; intended learning outcomes; teaching and leaming activities (TLA); equipment, materials, and teaching aids; references; assessment; allocated number of hours. Curriculum: A specification of the learning outcomes of the proposed degree program—ie, what students expect to know, understand, and be able to do after completing the program—that shows the minimum number of units required to attain them; a summary of required courses, electives, major courses, among others, and the minimum acceptable level of demonstrated achievement (evaluated against assessment criteria) for awarding credits; Curriculum Mapping: is the process of indexing or diagraming a curriculum to identify and address academic gaps, redundancies, and misalignments for purposes ‘of improving the overall coherence of a course of study and, by extension, its effectiveness; Diploma: a certificate given by a higher education institution to a student who has fulfilled all the requirements of a Bachelor's degree. In the case of a Bachelor's degree in Marine Transportation and Marine Engineering, granting a diploma presupposes completion of the academic requirements, basic training, security and advanced safety courses, and shipboard training in a seagoing ship; Seagoing Ship: a ship other than those which navigate exclusively in iniand waters or in waters within, or closely adjacent to, sheltered waters or areas where port regulations apply; Competency Standards: Demonstration of the knowledge, skills and competencies linked to the practice of a job or profession in accordance with requirements of the job; Learner Outcomes: clear statements of what the learner expects to know, understand, and do as a result of a learning experience; ‘Outcomes-Based Education: an educational approach that implies the best way to learn is to first determine what needs to be achieved. Once the desired resuits or “exit outcomes” have been determined, the strategies, processes, techniques and means are put in place to achieve predetermined goals. In essence, it is working backward with students as the center of the learning-teaching milieu; Outcomes-Based Assessment: In this approach, the program outcomes are largely measured against the policies, standards and guidelines of the discipline, which, in the case of maritime education, are aligned with the STCW standards as amended as well as those of other international conventions; Program of Study: an articulation of learning outcomes and the corresponding courses, sequence, and credit number assigned to courses which intend to develop Page 4 of 37the required learning competences and achieve threshold standards of a particular discipline; STCW Code: the Code adopted in the 1995 Conference of Parties to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, which was convened by the International Maritime Organization in its headquarters from 26 June to 7 July 1995. The Code contains two (2) parts, in Part A, mandatory provisions to which specific reference is made to the Annex of the STCW Convention and which give in detail, the minimum standards required to be maintained by Parties in order to give full and complete effect to the provisions of the STCW Convention. Part B contains recommended guidance to assist Parties to the STCW Convention and those involved in implementing, applying or enforcing its measures to give the STCW Convention full and complete effect in a uniform manner; STCW Convention: the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 which entered into force in April 1984, and which has since been amended in 1991, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2004, 2006 and 2010; and Unit: the credits of a course that can be transferred to a qualification other than the one for which it is obtained.
