De Danske Seariders’ Træning af Søværnets Besætninger: Et Studie af Interaktion, Roller og Dilemmaer

In order for a crew in the Royal Danish Navy to become a highly capable and professional team, it must go through a challenging training program with the Danish sea riders. The sea riders mainly focus on how ship crews handle the communicative and technical procedures that are crucial in emergencies like naval war and marine accidents. However, sea riders might overlook how and why social interactions affect the learning outcome from the exercises they conduct. This article uses Erving Goffman’s micro-sociological theory to inquire into the social interactional dynamics of maritime military exercises containing both fictive scenarios and role-playing. The article concludes by suggesting six reflective questions for sea riders concerning the social dynamics governing sea rider practice. These questions can help sea riders understand the importance of social interaction and in ultimately improve learning outcomes of maritime military exercises. Resume For at en besaetning i det danske Sovaern kan udvikle sig til et kompetent og professionelt team, skal besaetningen igennem et udfordrende traeningsforlob med de danske searidere. Dette traeningsforlob fokuserer primaert pa, hvordan skibet handterer tekniske og kommunikative procedurer i somilitaere konflikter og havarier. Der er dog en risiko for, at searidere overser, hvordan og hvorfor social interaktion pavirker laeringsudbyttet fra de ovelser, de star i spidsen for. Denne artikel benytter Erving Goffmans mikrosociologiske teori til at undersoge sociale og interaktionelle dynamikker i militaer maritim traening, som indeholder bade fiktive scenarier og rollespil. Undersogelsen munder ud i seks refleksionssporgsmal omhandlende de sociale dynamikker, der pavirker searidernes daglige arbejde. De seks sporgsmal kan hjaelpe searidere med at forsta vigtigheden af social interaktion og i sidste ende forbedre laeringsudbyttet af militaer maritim traening.
