This article reports the results from a research project on the use of simulator technologies in the training and assessment of professional performance in maritime training. The research draws on ethnographic fieldwork and analyses of video-recorded data to examine how maritime instructors make use of simulator technologies during instruction. Our results reveal an instructional practice where the need to account for general principles of good seamanship and international regulations is at the core of the basic maritime training. The meanings of good seamanship and the rules of the sea are hard to teach in abstraction, since their application relies on an infinite number of contingencies that have to be accounted for in every specific case. Based on this premise, we are stressing the importance of both inscenario instruction and post-simulation debriefing in order for the instructor to bridge theory and practice in ways that develop the students' professional competences.

legislation, and the evidence behind simulation and explore the art and utilization of medical simulation in a multidisciplinary setting. SIMULATION HISTORY Simulation as a primary tool for developing critical skills training did not begin in the health care field. In the 1930s, simulation became popular in the aviation industry with the advent of the Link trainer, which was used in flight and military applications. After fur-ther review of postcrash “black box ” recordings and analysis of in-flight crises, the aviation industry discov-ered that 67 % of mistakes made during flight involved deficiencies in communication.2 This finding moti-vated the aviation and space industries to mandate annual training in crew resource management (CRM) and flight simulation and require trainees to display true cognitive, technical, and behavioral skills, while working in a realistic environment.3 By placing emphasis on effective teamwork, communication, and skill demonstration, simulation training...

This paper examines several popular Chasidic narratives in order to grasp the essence of Chassidus. The stories indicate that it lies in actively pursuing an intimate relationship with God in every moment of life. Rather than asceticism or spiritual contemplation, it emphasizes love, care for others, and the belief that even the simplest person can reach spiritual heights. The profound bond between God and humanity allows for respectful argument. Above all, hope in others is essential; inherent goodness awaits nurturing and encouragement.
