Özet:

This study aims to test the impact of government commitment, curriculum development, and education and training, either directly or indirectly through school management and business actors' participation in maritime learning activities to develop student competencies. This research was conducted on junior high school students in grade IX obtained through random sampling techniques from five schools in five districts / cities. The total sample of students is 175 people. Data collection and information were conducted through questionnaire distribution techniques to student respondents, interviews with principals and teachers, and focus group discussions (FGD). Specifically, the questionnaire was administered before testing was performed to determine its validity and reliability using the help of the SPSS version 24.0 program. The questionnaire was processed and analyzed using SEM techniques with the Lisrel 2 version 8.70 program. The results show that variables of government commitment, curriculum development, education and training, both directly and indirectly through school management and business actors participation, have a positive effect on maritime learning activities. Furthermore, maritime learning activities have a positive impact on the development of students' competencies, especially in making career choices, developing entrepreneurial aspirations, and the love of marine life. On this basis, marine learning activities require attention to influence variables along with indicators that contribute to each of the variables studied. The development of marine competence requires supporting facilities, establishing cooperative relationships with parties outside of school, apprenticeship or training assistance, the availability of learning media (including digital technology as a source of knowledge, information, etc.).
