Although searching for information in an electronic environment is generally seen as an efficient and easy process, accessing the desired information within the breadth of data available on the web can be a complex and difficult process. For students preparing for a life at sea, it is important to establish and determine the appropriate strategies for accessing and interpreting information on the web, as their ability to perform such tasks quickly and effectively is vital for their success in this particular sector. In this study, the information searching and commitment strategies of students studying in the maritime faculty of a Turkish state university in the 2018-2019 academic year were examined. The study determined that students generally use advanced searching strategies, explicit components instead of more implicit components, and simple searching strategies instead of advanced searching strategies. Further, students in the department of Marine Transportation used more varied searching strategies on the web than those in the department of Marine Management. Possessing higher levels of computer skills was found to be more significant than computer or smart phone usage times in determining more advanced searching strategies. The results highlight the importance of educating students in order to gain awareness of how to organize information and identify appropriate content alongside teaching them how to access and use the information and scientific data they are looking for.

尽管在电子环境中搜索信息通常被认为是高效且容易的过程，但是在Web上可用的数据范围内访问所需信息可能是一个复杂而困难的过程。对于准备海上生活的学生来说，建立和确定访问和解释网络信息的适当策略非常重要，因为他们快速有效地执行此类任务的能力对于他们在这一特定领域的成功至关重要。在这项研究中，研究了2018-2019学年在土耳其国立大学海事学院学习的学生的信息搜索和承诺策略。该研究确定，学生通常使用高级搜索策略，显式组件而不是更多的隐式组件，和简单的搜索策略，而不是高级的搜索策略。此外，与海洋管理系的学生相比，海洋系的学生在网络上使用了更多不同的搜索策略。在确定更高级的搜索策略时，拥有更高水平的计算机技能比使用计算机或智能手机的时间更为重要。结果强调了对学生进行教育的重要性，以使他们了解如何组织信息并确定适当的内容，同时教会他们如何访问和使用所需的信息和科学数据。与海洋管理系的学生相比，海洋系的学生在网络上使用了更多不同的搜索策略。在确定更高级的搜索策略时，拥有更高水平的计算机技能比使用计算机或智能手机的时间更为重要。结果强调了对学生进行教育的重要性，以使他们了解如何组织信息并确定适当的内容，同时教会他们如何访问和使用所需的信息和科学数据。与海洋管理系的学生相比，海洋系的学生在网络上使用了更多不同的搜索策略。在确定更高级的搜索策略时，拥有较高水平的计算机技能比使用计算机或智能手机的时间更重要。结果强调了对学生进行教育的重要性，以使他们了解如何组织信息并确定适当的内容，同时教会他们如何访问和使用所需的信息和科学数据。
