Introduction

The Maritime School Assessment Program (MSAP) is a nationwide standard academic

assessment test for regular second year students taking up Bachelor of Science in Marine
Transportation (BSMT) or Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering (BSMarE), and all regular

second year BSMT and BSMarE students currently enrolled on the second semester of academic

year of MSAP-participating maritime schools are required to take the examination. This

program is wholly supported by the International Mariners Management Association of Japan

(IMMAJ) in Tokyo, Japan and is implemented by the Manila-based Philippine-Japan Manning

Consultative Council, Inc. (PJMCCC). IMMAJ is an association of 96 Japanese ship owners. MSAP

has its goals and objectives for future seafarers, it is to assess the performance of BSMT and

BSMarE students presently enrolled in maritime schools through a standard academic test

which covers English, Mathematics and fundamental Deck/Engine Technical subjects; to

benchmark Philippine Maritime Schools against industry set-standards of academic

performance for maritime students based on the examination results; to assist Maritime

schools identify their strengths and areas of improvement based on the performance of

students who took the examination; to assist maritime schools in terms of faculty upgrading to

ensure quality of instruction hence improve the quality of graduates coming from their

institutions;

to give maritime schools a level-playing field in terms of recruitment/ employment

opportunities for their students/graduates; and last is to reward deserving students with

Cadetship slots reference MSAP-related programs implemented in partnership with the

government and other industry associations belonging to the Joint Manning Group (JMG).

Maritime institutions conduct reviews and orientation before taking-up an MSAP. To

ensure that all examiners are intellectually and spiritually competent for the future exams.
Statement of the Problem

Local Literature

The Maritime School Assessment Program (MSAP) is a nationwide standard academic

assessment test for regular second year students taking up Bachelor of Science in Marine

Transportation (BSMT) or Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering (BSMarE).

The program is wholly supported by the International Mariners Management

Association of Japan (IMMAJ) in Tokyo, Japan and is implemented by the Manila-based

Philippine-Japan Manning Consultative Council, Inc. (PJMCCC). IMMAJ is an association of 96

Japanese ship owners. It counts among its members some of the largest shipping companies in

the world such as Mitsui-OSK Lines, NYK Lines and K-line. IMMAJ employs up to 30,000 Filipino

seafarers at any one time.

7
 PJMCC is the association of 65 Filipino manning companies that provide seafarers to

Vessel’s owned and controlled by the IMMAJ members.

The MSAP is also supported by the members of the Philippine Association of Maritime

Institution (PAMI) as well as some non-members. Maritime schools who participated in the past

exercises have seen the Program’s merit as it gives them required feedback as to the strong

points that they have and the areas they should improve on. The MSAP also gives the Maritime

School a level playing field in terms of recruitment/employment of the students/graduates.

The Government, particularly the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), the Overseas

Workers Welfare Fund (OWWA) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), has likewise

showed support to the program. (http://msapreview.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-is-maritime-

Reasons for low academic performance

Ruby M. Jimenez (2010) explains about reasons for low academic performance that is

related to the Department of Education's thrust to promote quality education in our public

schools, various educational reforms are being implemented yearly.

One reason can be attributed to poor command of the English language. There are only

very few students who have good command of the English language. Majority of the students

cannot express themselves well in English, both in written and oral form.

8
 This is one factor why many get low grades in written examinations, particularly in the

National Achievement Test, where the items are in English.

Another reason for the low academic proficiency of students is the high student-class

and student-teacher ratio. The current average class ratio in our public schools is 1:50 and there

are times that it is even 1:65 in other schools. Even the best teachers we have cannot deliver

well under this scenario.

Another major concern that also contributes to low academic performance is the lack of

books and other reading materials.

In many schools, teacher-book ratio is 1:4; the ideal number, which is 1:1, remains only

a dream for many years. Another area of concern that hampers quality education is the school

library. Most public schools have difficulty in having sufficient library collections. Majority of the

library collections are small, outdated and even worn out. With such outdated and limited

reference materials, we cannot expect the students to engage in productive, leisurely activities

such as reading.

One contributory factor is the difficulty of our schools in providing their students with

sufficient laboratories. Some of the problems include the absence of working tables, sinks, lack

of safety devices, and lack of laboratory equipment’s/apparatus for hands-on training and, in

some worst-case scenarios, the absence of science laboratories themselves.

9
Absenteeism and Student Performance

Philippine Basic Education - People have strong opinions about almost anything and

the issue of education is no exception. How these opinions have been formed needs to be

examined. This is what good research does. It informs and guides. A myriad of factors influence

education and oftentimes, these factors are not independent from each other. Factors interact,

sometimes these add, and other times, these subtract

Education Week recently came out with an article, "School Absences Translate to

Lower Test Scores, Study Says". One of the first comments on the article was "Really? We need

a study to show a link between absences and achievement".

This is followed by "Another obvious finding..., A wise man once said that data that is

easy to gather is meaningless". And then, "Duh!" The article related the following important

findings from the study:

"Three days, if you multiply that out by nine months, is five weeks a year," Mr. Ginsburg

said. "You've got more than a quarter of the below-basic kids who are going to miss five weeks

of school a year or more,"

"You've got more than a quarter of the below-basic kids who are going to miss five

weeks of school a year or more," he said, noting that only 8 percent of students at the

advanced level had missed that much school.

10
 "That, to me, would be something that if you are a chief state school officer or a

superintendent, you might worry about."

The study showed that being absent for three days in a month strongly correlates with

poor performance. As educators, it is important to know the threshold. Drawing policies on

school intervention regarding absenteeism requires guiding information on where to draw the

line. Policies cannot be simply drawn out of thin air. Three days in a month, that number, a

result of research, is a useful guide for teachers and school administrators. The study as

described by the article is only an initial analysis of the data.

Tips in Memorizing Mathematical Formulas Easily

Mathematics is the abstract study of topics such as quantity (numbers), structure,

space, and change. There is a range of views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the

exact scope and definition of mathematics.

The subject is hated by many because it is complicated and not that easy to learn. So, here are

some tips in memorizing mathematical formulas easily:

• Relax. Math and Physics problems are not meant to be studied under stress.

Relax your mind. By doing this, you will be able to focus more on your task.

11
 2.  Jot Down. During lecture, write down everything the professor writes down, and if

he/she uses different colors of ink, do likewise. Even if you think you understand a problem,

write down each step. You may find yourself confused later on and need those notes.

3. Derive the Formula Repeatedly. Solve many math problems every day. In solving a

problem, write first the formula. That is one way of memorizing it. Write the formula in a piece

of paper. Read it before you sleep and read it again after you wake up. Do not stop solving

math problems.

4.  Take Them With You. Find a small book and put down all those formulas. Keep the

book at your back pocket and try to review them anytime you feel like you are missing

something. This will bring back the memories of what you have learned, making those jaw-

breaking formula stick into your mind forever.

5. Read Ahead. Read over tomorrow’s math lesson today. Get a general idea about the

new formulas in advance, before your teacher covers them in class. As you read ahead, you will

recognize some of it, and other parts will be brand new. That’s OK- when your teacher is

explaining them, you already have a ‘hook’ to hang this new knowledge on and it will make

more sense. It will be easier to memorize the formulas later.

6. Absorb the Formulas via Different Channels. We’ve already talked about writing and

visual aids for learning formulas. Also, process and learn each one by hearing it and speaking it.

An example here is the formula for the derivative of a fraction involving “x terms” on the top

and bottom (known as the “Quotient Rule”)

12
 7.  Math is not a Spectator Sport. You cannot learn mathematics by just going to class

and watching the instructor lecture and work problems. In order to learn mathematics you

must be actively involved in the learning process. You’ve got to attend class and pay while in

class. You’ve got to take a good set of notes. You’ve got to work homework problems.

8.  Understanding Math. It is fine to memorize math symbols and definitions, but try to

understand the underlying processes and concepts. When you look at a process, ask yourself

the purpose for each step. Think of analogies or try explaining a concept to a friend or family

member.

9. Satisfaction. Do you ever study while you are hungry or thirsty? How does it feel? You

always feel reluctant to focus because you are in rush to go grab some pizza. If you start to feel

hungry or thirsty, quit studying those formulas and satisfy yourself with some food or drink.

10.  Use Memory Techniques. Most people are capable of learning lists of unrelated

number or words, as long as they use the right techniques. Such techniques can be applied to

the learning of formulas as well. One of these techniques is to create a story around the thing

you need to learn. The crazier the story, the better it is because it is easier to remember. If the

story is set in some striking physical location, it also helps to remember it later.

Foreign Literature

Herzigs(2005) on his article “What does it take to succeed in Mathematics?” discussed

the theories of situated learning posit that learning happens through participation (Boaler

2002; lave and wenger 1991; Roggot 1994; Werger 1998). The idea is that students learn from

what they do. For example, listening to teacher’s explanation, completing various types of

homework and classwork Exercise, taking notes, reading texts, studying for and taking exams

constitute a different type of learning opportunity. Focusing on learning this context draws

attention to how individuals change trough their involvement with the activities of their

classroom and other educational experiences. “This is a process of becoming, rather than

acquisition.”

Weiss (2003) have summarized the psychological literature on gender difference in

verbal and non-verbal skills. Female outperform males in rapidly identifying matching items

(often referred to us conceptual speed), verbal fluency, speech articulations, grammatical skills,

use of more complex and longer sentence, and precisions manual tasks (placing pegs in

designated holes in a board). In contrast, males outperform Female in spatial tasks,

mathematical reasoning test, and navigating their way through route.

Males are also more accurate in test of target – direct motor skills (for example, guiding

or intercepting projectiles). - (cited by ma, xin, 2007)

How Can I Improve My English

Tricia Ellis-Christensen - There are many things that you can do to improve your English.

Which ones are best for you will depend on things such as your current English skills, where you

live and whether English is your first language.

You can take English classes in many parts of the world, and there are many other

learning tools — such as audio and video recordings, computer programs and books — that you

can purchase or even find for free. One of the best things to do, however, is to read, write and

speak English as much as possible. The more you practice the language, the more likely you are

to improve your English.

Take a Class

First, decide whether you want to enroll in an English class. These classes are available

through schools or community education programs in many parts of the world.

No matter where the class is offered, it is best if it is taught by a person whose first

language is English. Some courses might focus on reading, writing or speaking, but others will

teach students in all three areas.

Use English Daily

If you are living in an English-speaking country, you have many chances to improve your

English outside of class. For example, if you have children who are learning English at school,

15
 you can improve your English by talking to them in the language and helping them with

their English homework.

Use Learning Tools

There are many products that you can use to improve your English, including tutorial

books, recordings and computer programs. If you cannot afford to purchase these, you might

be able to borrow them from your local library or find free.

Watch Movies with Subtitles

If English is not your first language, consider watching movies that are in English, with

subtitles in your native language.

Another option is to watch movies in your native language, with English subtitles. Either

of these methods will help you associate the English words and phrases with the corresponding

words and phrases in your native language.

Keep Reading

As you become more comfortable reading English, be sure to read things other than

instructional materials. For example, reading books and news in English can really help you

improve your English.

16
One Word at a Time

If you want to improve your English vocabulary, it can be helpful to focus on learning a

few new words at a time. For example, you could learn one new word every few days and look

for opportunities to use them in conversation.

Top Issues Affecting Student Academic Performance

Neil Kokemuller - In some cases, students struggle to get out of their own way to

achieve academic goals.

Poor study habits, lack of motivation and poor preparation negatively impact student

performance. However, students also face more indirect conflicts with high academic

achievement from areas like finances and family support.

Finances

Assuming a student is able to pay for or finance a college education; financial problems

can still impede success. Some students don't buy textbooks and other class resources because

of the costs. They may invest thousands in tuition and room and board yet choose to save

hundreds of dollars by not buying books, which are important to success in classes. Students

may also work too many hours at a job to keep up with coursework. Limited finances can affect

a student's ability to budget for gas or car repairs, impacting school commutes.

17
Lack of Support

Some students go to college because of parental pressure or influence. However, others

may go to school of their own volition and have little to no financial or emotional support from

parents and other family members. This is especially true for first-generation students whose

parents didn't go to college themselves.

Poor Study Habits

Even with financial means and family support, students may struggle with personal drive

and poor study habits. New college students may not have developed adequate study and work

habits during high school. To succeed in college classes, you normally have to schedule regular

reading, study and work time.

Poor Preparation

Along with poor study habits, students who struggle generally don't show up to class

consistently. Even when they do attend, they aren't always ready to learn and perform. Along

with an attitude to learn and effective listening skills, prepared students have read material

before class, ask questions, take organized notes and participate in class and small-group

discussions. Disengagement in classes leads to students being out of the loop, missing

important instructions and failing to learn content.

18
Math Study Skills

Saint Louis University discusses about managing the learning process, the mathematics

and your study time:

• Take responsibility for studying, recognizing what you do and don't know, and knowing how

to get your Instructor to help you with what you don't know.

• Attend class every day and take complete notes. Instructors formulate test questions based

on material and examples covered in class as well as on those in the text.

• Be an active participant in the classroom. Get ahead in the book; try to work some of the

problems before they are covered in class. Anticipate what the Instructor's next step will be.

• Ask questions in class! There are usually other students wanting to know the answers to the

same questions you have.

• Go to office hours and ask questions. The Instructor will be pleased to see that you are

interested, and you will be actively helping yourself.

Study Time

You may know a rule of thumb about math (and other) classes: at least 2 hours of study time

per class hour. But this may not be enough!

19
• Take as much time as you need to do all the homework and to get complete understanding

of the material.

Form a study group. Meet once or twice a week (also use the phone). Go over problems you've

had trouble with. Either someone else in the group will help you, or you will discover you're all

stuck on the same problems. Then it's time to get help from your Instructor.

• The more challenging the material, the more time you should spend on it.

Problem Solving (Homework and Tests)

• The higher the math class, the more types of problems: in earlier classes, problems often

required just one step to find a solution. Increasingly, you will tackle problems which

require several steps to solve them. Break these problems down into smaller pieces and

solve each piece - divide and conquer!

Selected personal factors include the I.Q, General Weighted Average, Attitude,

Educational Attainment and Attendance of the BSMT and BSMARE students. Attitude and

Attendance were determined through the prepared instructor’s records. The learning style of

the students would then reflect their process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and attitude

whether it is visual, auditory or kinesthetic. These selected personal factors were considered in

this study for possible influence on the academic performance of the BSMT and BSMARE

students in participating and instruction in the in English, Mathematics and Fundamental

Deck/Engine Technical Subjects.

The performance level of the BSMT and BSMARE student in English, Mathematics, and

Fundamental Deck/Engine Technical Subject were determined through the preferred summary

result of the MSAP examination at the Academics Office.
