<![CDATA[This study aims to test the effectiveness of using Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technology in crisis management and maritime safety training for maritime cadets. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group participated in immersive technology-based training, while the control group participated in conventional training. Competency measurements were conducted through pre-tests and post-tests covering safety understanding, decision-making skills, and situational preparedness. The analysis results showed that the treatment group experienced a significantly higher increase in competency compared to the control group. This increase was not only statistically significant but also practically meaningful with a shift in competency categories. to a higher level. The findings of this study indicate that immersive technology-based training is able to provide a more contextual and realistic learning experience compared to conventional approaches. This study provides empirical evidence that the integration of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in maritime safety training has the potential to increase the readiness of cadets in facing crisis situations and support the strengthening of maritime education and training systems that are oriented towards reducing human error.]]>
