Assessment of students’ achievements in higher education didactics and in maritime studies is considered as a problematic part of study process. Especially it is difficult to use assessment practically in order to improve students’ learning, for formative purposes. The role of formative assessment in the learning educational paradigm is essential. One of main attributes of formative assessment - self-evaluation of students - has been chosen as the object of the research. For the empirical research, a case of full-time studies of Marine Engineering was decided upon. An originally created questionnaire was used for the research. The characteristics of self-evaluation, such as its frequency, forms, and content were analysed with the aim of finding out their influence on the improvement of students’ learning and effectiveness of maritime studies.

World marine engineering sector has been developing rather swiftly since recently. Every year the majority of leading shipping companies raise the level of management & maintenance of their vessels. Therefore the requirements to seafarers are increasing constantly. All these circumstances lead to the fact that every next year marine institutions, having limited time for teaching process, meet rising difficulties in seafarer’s proper training. That goes particularly for the special (technical) subjects, which are being taught to future marine engineers and form the level of their proficiency by the time of the graduation.

This study was conducted to determine the level of stakeholder satisfaction and gather qualitative views and ideas among twenty five (25) company partners - crew managers, personnel managers, training directors of the different shipping companies based in Manila, Philippines. These company-partners are directly involved in the evaluation of performance of marine engineering cadets, specifically of the Marine Engineering Department, John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University-Molo, Iloilo City. The Perfor-mance Prism (PP) Theory was used in this study as theoretical framework to measure stakeholder satisfaction of different company partners. This is an innovative performance measurement and performance management framework of the second generation. Employing quantitative-qualitative method of analyzing the obtained data, the study entailed three phases, namely: (1) survey personally administered by the researchers, (2) the personal interview with the stakeholders, and (3) analysis of the results of the survey using descriptive statis-tical methods such as the mean, frequency count, and percentage. The information gathered through the inter-views was used to validate the results by quantitative data analysis. The data-gathering instrument was the “Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey.” Quantitative results revealed that the stakeholder satisfaction level was “moderately high” among marine engineering cadets in terms of communication, professionalism and trust-worthiness, communication, discipline, loyalty, consistency of performance, leadership skills, honesty, industry, social responsibility, and initiative to be satisfactory. The different comments, remarks, suggestions, and responses derived from the interviews were used also in the study as qualitative data to enhance and validate the quantitative data. Furthermore, the qualitative views of the respondents were used to suggest some improvements and innovations in the learning process at Marine Engineering Department of Maritime Universi-ty (JBLFMU-Molo, Iloilo City), Philippines.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the level of academic performance in Auxiliary Machinery 2 subject and navigational trip among marine engineering students at maritime university, specifically JBLFMU-Molo, Iloilo City, Philippines. It further aimed also to determine the relationship of the two variables. The researchers used the quantitative research method and employed the descriptive statistics for the analysis of data among the randomly selected participants of the present study. The statistical tools were frequency, mean, and Pearson’s r. To come up with the data needed for this study, the questionnaire – checklist on “Navigational trip” was developed by the researchers. Results revealed that as an entire group, the level of academic performance was “excellent” and the navigational trip was “moderately satisfactory” among marine engineering students. The correlation between navigational trip and auxiliary machinery 2 subject was “positive and significantly correlated.”
