The 4th Kotor International Maritime Conference (KIMC 2024) was held on 27–29 November 2024 in Kotor (Montenegro), following the 65th anniversary of the Faculty of Maritime Studies Kotor and 50 years of the University of Montenegro.
Prof. Valentyna Kudriavtseva, Assoc. Prof. Svitlana Barsuk, and Assoc. Prof. Olena Frolova delivered their presentation, “Authentic Learning Materials for Developing Soft Skills,” during the Conference Session on “Maritime Education and Training & Quality Management Systems.”The researchers emphasized that authentic resources (videos, audio, texts) provide learners with the opportunity to explore, discuss, and meaningfully construct concepts and relationships within contexts that involve real-life problems relevant to their future professional activities.
The idea behind KIMC is to provide an academic platform for scholars and maritime professionals to present and share their latest research findings, as well as to explore emerging technologies and directions in maritime sciences and the shipping industry.
