Ocean Acoustics Education and Expertise (2024)

Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

Appendix E Glossary Acoustics: The science of sound, encompassing its production, transmission, and reception. Apprenticeship: Paid work experience and classroom instruction to develop skills and knowledge in a specific industry (the Apply and Analyze levels of Bloom’s taxonomy). Blue Economy: The sustainable use of ocean resources that benefits economic growth and ocean ecosystem health. Co-Op: Gain practical, hands-on experience while earning credits toward graduation (the Apply and Analyze levels of Bloom’s taxonomy) Digital Badges: Transferrable symbol used to verify attaining specific competencies. Experiential Learning: Specific activities and the opportunity to reflect on these activities (the Apply and Analyze levels of Bloom’s taxonomy). Formal Education: Content for all areas of applied acoustics, from the fundamentals (Remember, Understand in Bloom’s taxonomy) to more complex applications (Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create). Intersectionality: The ways in which systems of inequality based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, class and other forms of discrimination “intersect” to create unique dynamics and effects. Microcredentials: Short, competency-based training opportunities that allow a learner to demonstrate mastery in a particular area. Ocean Acoustics: The study of sound in the ocean and how it travels, interacts with, and is affected by its underwater surroundings. Professional Development: Programs offered for current members of the workforce and can include training, workshops, short courses, tutorials, experiential learning, webinars, and asynchronous online opportunities (all levels of Bloom’s taxonomy, depending on the specific program and its objectives). Reciprocal/Reverse Internship: Practical experience and insights in a different setting (industry or academia) for professionals (the Apply, Analyze, and Evaluate levels of Bloom’s taxonomy). Short Course: Program such as industry-led training on equipment/software, or other discrete learning opportunities aimed at gaining a new skill or knowledge where participants earn a certificate or acknowledgement of completion, generally 1-2 weeks or less in length (the Remember, Understand, Apply, and Analyze levels of Bloom’s taxonomy). SOFAR Channel: Deep sound channel. Sonar: Sound Navigation and Ranging. 238 Prepublication Copy 

Appendix E 239 Training: Program such as industry-led course on equipment/software, or other discrete learning opportunities aimed at gaining a new skill or knowledge where participants earn a certificate or acknowledgement of completion (the Apply level of Bloom’s taxonomy). Tutorial: Program such as industry-led training on equipment/software, or other discrete learning opportunities with small class sizes aimed at gaining a new skill or knowledge where participants earn a certificate or acknowledgement of completion (the Remember, Understand, Apply, and Analyze level of Bloom’s taxonomy). Workshop: A brief intensive education programs such as industry-led training on equipment/software, or other discrete learning opportunities aimed at gaining a new skill or knowledge where participants earn a certificate or acknowledgement of completion (the Remember, Understand, Apply, and Analyze level of Bloom’s taxonomy).
