Freight Forwarding Training with Online Scenarios on Moodle: A Pilot Study

Kuzey Ege Teknik Bilimler ve Teknoloji Dergisi, cilt.1, sa.1, ss.23-36, 2024 (Hakemli Dergi)

Based on job descriptions, this study aims to create a scenario that accurately represents real work in the labor

market for freight forwarding maritime export operations. A shortage of qualified personnel is a problem in

the labor market. Education must provide students with real-life skills. One way to address this issue is from

the standpoint of market orientation. A single-group pretest/posttest design was chosen. The scenario was

generated with Moodle's quiz functionality. The scenario is implemented for students in the logistics

department of a vocational school, and the means are compared. The scenario's validity is verified through

expert opinion and comparison with the job advertisement. A significant statistical difference was found

between the scores obtained in the pre-test and post-test (p < 0.05). The power of the study was evaluated

through power analysis (1- β ≥ 0.8). The findings of this study demonstrate that materials designed based on

real-life scenarios possess the capacity to equip students with practical skills applicable in real-world contexts.
