Application of Large Language Models and Assessment of Their Ship-Handling Theory Knowledge and Skills for Connected Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships

Maritime transport plays a critical role in global logistics. Compared to road transport, the pace of research and development is much slower for maritime transport. It faces many major challenges, such as busy ports, long journeys, significant accidents, and greenhouse gas emissions. The problems have been exacerbated by recent regional conflicts and increasing international shipping demands. Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASSs) are widely regarded as a promising solution to addressing maritime transport problems with improved safety and efficiency. With advanced sensing and path-planning technologies, MASSs can autonomously understand environments and navigate without human intervention. However, the complex traffic and water conditions and the corner cases are large barriers in the way of MASSs being practically deployed. In this paper, to address the above issues, we investigated the application of Large Language Models (LLMs), which have demonstrated strong generalization abilities. Given the substantial computational demands of LLMs, we propose a framework for LLM-assisted navigation in connected MASSs. In this framework, LLMs are deployed onshore or in remote clouds, to facilitate navigation and provide guidance services for MASSs. Additionally, certain large oceangoing vessels can deploy LLMs locally, to obtain real-time navigation recommendations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to apply LLMs to assist with ship navigation. Specifically, MASSs transmit assistance requests to LLMs, which then process these requests and return assistance guidance. A crucial aspect, which has not been investigated in the literature, of this safety-critical LLM-assisted guidance system is the knowledge and safety performance of the LLMs, in regard to ship handling, navigation rules, and skills. To assess LLMs’ knowledge of navigation rules and their qualifications for navigation assistance systems, we designed and conducted navigation theory tests for LLMs, which consisted of more than 1500 multiple-choice questions. These questions were similar to the official theory exams that are used to award the Officer Of the Watch (OOW) certificate based on the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) for Seafarers. A wide range of LLMs were tested, which included commercial ones from OpenAI and Baidu and an open-source one called ChatGLM, from Tsinghua. Our experimental results indicated that among all the tested LLMs, only GPT-4o passed the tests, with an accuracy of 86%. This suggests that, while the current LLMs possess significant potential in regard to navigation and guidance systems for connected MASSs, further improvements are needed.

BERMAIN “EGO” PSIKOANALITIS DALAM BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING PADA ANAK TUNA GRAHITA

The aim of this research is to find out how to provide guidance and counseling techniques for mentally retarded children, then find out what the process of educating mentally retarded children is. Children with mental retardation or also known as mentally retarded because of their limited intelligence make it difficult for them to take part in classical educational programs in regular schools, therefore mentally retarded children need special educational services that are tailored to the child's abilities. The method used is a qualitative case study, with data analysis techniques used, namely pattern matching and explanation creation. The results of this research show that children with special needs can be minimized, but in a small way and over a very long period of time. For example, how to communicate, a counselor must be able to provide guidance services for this kind of thing. The causes of mental retardation in children are, firstly, it could be heredity factors, parenting style factors, nutritional factors, social factors, and so on. Because it is possible that when the baby is in the womb he lacks vitamins, this could also be a cause of mental retardation in children. The hope is that with psychoanalytic play therapy, mentally disabled children will receive guidance and learning to increase their IQ. Of course, this kind of thing is done by providing lessons and examples of games repeatedly in play therapy. So by giving examples over and over again, they can easily memorize what their teacher has taught them even though they are slow to digest it.

Waypoint-Based Human-Tracking Navigation for Museum Guide Robot

A visitor-following method that guides visitors as they move around was successfully developed without changing the structure of the waypoint navigation system. We previously developed a guidance robot, “EM-Ro,” to provide guidance services at the ECO35 Muffler Museum, and used the waypoint navigation system to implement a visitor-escort method along a predetermined route. With this visitor-following method, EM-Ro was able to follow a target visitor along visitor-derived waypoints, which were estimated using 2D LiDAR. Thus, the proposed navigation system for the guidance robot provides both visitor-escort and visitor-following guidance services. Using the same waypoint navigation system, it was possible to seamlessly switch between visitor-escort and visitor-following guidance. Switching between prepared or visitor-derived waypoints can make a visitor choose the preferred guidance method. Visitors can switch the guidance method anytime by providing EM-Ro requests from the remote controller. In addition, a guest redetecting method was developed when EM-Ro lost guests. The experimental results at the Muffler Museum showed that both visitor-escort and visitor-following driving by the EM-Ro were successfully demonstrated while guiding guests in the facility.

Influence of School Counsellor’s Demographic on the Provision of Guidance Services in Senior High Schools in Ghana

This study investigates how school counsellor’s demographics influence the provision of guidance services in senior high schools in Ghana. The study was underpinned by a positivist philosophical viewpoint where a quantitative approach and the descriptive survey was used to assess how school counsellor’s demographics influence their provision of guidance services. A self-developed questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. A total of a hundred and thirty-six (136) respondents was selected on a purposive base. The study found out that there was a significant difference between the age, gender, experience and academic qualification of counsellors have an influence in the provision of guidance services in SHSs in Ghana. The study also revealed that orientation, information and counselling services were adequately performed in SHSs, but consultation and follow-up were the least provided services. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education should ensure that the employment criteria for school counsellors should be based mostly on academic qualification and experience. Finally, the Ministry of Education and Ghana Education Service should organise seminars for school counsellors frequently to have rudimentary knowledge and skills to help them in practice.

Improving Political Behavior Through Group Counseling Services with Sociodrama Techniques in Schools

Sociodrama technique is a method of role-playing learning to solve problems related to social phenomena. The use of sociodrama techniques in this study is to improve the polite behavior of students through group guidance services. This study uses action research, with two cycles, namely cycle 1 and 2, each of which has two meetings and at each meeting allocates 40 minutes. Data collection methods used are observation, interviews, and documentation to determine the level of politeness of students in the implementation of group guidance services in school. The subjects of the study were ten students from grade 8th, Unesa Middle School who had problems in their polite behavior. Based on the observations of students in both cycles, there is an increase in the politeness of students, including good criteria in the implementation of group guidance services using Sociodrama techniques. After the implementation of the first cycle, it can be seen that there is a 63% change in students' behavior which means it shows the politeness behavior of students in the Good Criteria. At the meeting, after the second cycle, there is an increase to 76% in the Good criteria. Thus, from the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the action research hypothesis that reads "The use of sociodrama techniques can improve polite behavior of students through the implementation of group guidance services in School " can be accepted so that it can be implied as an alternative and reference in providing guidance services to students or children.

The Provision of Guidance Services in Colleges of Education in Northern Ghana

The study examined the provision of guidance services in colleges of education in Northern Ghana. The study employed the survey design. Stratified random sampling, quota sampling and simple random sampling techniques were used to select a sample size of five hundred (500) students. Questionnaire was the instrument used to gather information for the study. The results were analyzed using tables, frequency and percentages. The study revealed that orientation, information, appraisal, counselling and placement services were the most provided guidance services, whereas consultation, referral, and follow-up were the least provided services in the colleges. The study further showed that benefits of guidance services to students brought about the improvement of students behaviour and discipline and the development of positive attitude towards education. Also, the study discovered that inadequate funding, lack of computers and internet facilities were major factors that inhibited the effective delivery of guidance services in the colleges. The study recommended that counsellors should sensitize students about the availability of consultation, referral and follow-up services. Also, government, non-governmental organizations and parent-teacher associations should collaborate to provide adequate funds to enhance the effective delivery of guidance services in the colleges of education.

The Marketisation of Guidance Services in Germany, France and Britain

The development of a ‘learning society’ depends crucially upon individuals being able to make informed choices about education, training and employment opportunities on an ongoing basis. This gives a new impetus to the role of adult guidance services. Member States of the European Union (EU) are developing different approaches to the provision of guidance services, although they all operate within the context of EU policies which have a bearing on service provision. This article compares developments in Britain, France and Germany, focusing in particular on the trend towards the ‘marketisation’ of adult guidance services: making a market‐‐or more strictly, a quasi‐market‐‐of the market brokers.

UNINTERPRETABLE SCORES: THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR TESTING PRACTICE

Chance-level scores have long been problematic in the interpretation of multiple choice tests. Fry (1971) referred to them as Orangoutang Scores, suggesting that many scores on tests could be achieved by a lucky orangoutang. stated his opinion strongly: He who uses or puts into cumulative folders test scores at or below (chance level) should be certified to teach, test, and provide guidance services only to Orangoutangs. Fry also noted that test publishers sometimes report grade-level equivalents for chance-level scores without giving any interpretive assistance to the user. It is in fact rare that users of scores are confronted with a specific reminder that the score which is being reported to them is, in fact, not significantly different from a mean chance score. The possible randomness' of the responses is, for all intents and purposes, not considered.

The article explains some of the underlying social, cultural, and educational conditions that have helped shape recent trends, and the authors sketch the increasing use of innovative apprenticeship training and student loan programs, which have greatly increased demands for the provision of guidance services in recent years. Despite the problem of underprofessionalization, the field of vocational guidance and counseling is growing in importance in the Latin American countries.

Job Satisfactions and Job Activities of School Counselors

This study examined the relationships among the job satisfactions and job activities of 168 school counselors. An intercorrelational matrix was developed using personal data, 8 job‐satisfaction dimensions, and 6 job‐activity areas. Establishing and maintaining staff relationships and providing guidance services to individual students were the activities most related to the job‐satisfaction dimensions. Promoting the general program was not significantly related with any job satisfaction. Some differences between men and women counselors were found in both job satisfactions and activities. The student‐counselor ratio was relevant to the activities of the counselors but not related to their job satisfactions.
