| Abstract | Effective ice management training is necessary for safe and efficient operations in sea ice environments, especially for offshore energy industries that experience seasonal incursions of pack and multi-year ice. Traditional training methods in sea ice management are predominantly through classroom courses, simulator-based training, and experiential learning on-the-job. However, traditional forms of training are non-adaptive, have limited scalability, and lack consistency in skill acquisition. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of an Adaptive Instructional System (AIS) as a potential solution for improving ice management performance in simulation-based training. The AIS integrates a learner model using Decision Trees and an instructor model that incorporates feedback from experienced seafarers to improve skill acquisition in simulated environments. Participants (n = 24) completed three training scenarios and one test scenario in a simulator, focusing on key operational techniques such as pushing, prop wash, and leeway creation. Performance differences were assessed using metrics, such as average change in ice concentration. The findings demonstrated improvements in performance among participants trained with the AIS compared to those without it. These results highlight the potential of an AIS in addressing the limitations of traditional training methods. |
