Competency-Based Education in Aviation

Exploring Alternate Training Pathways

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Training based on competency is an increasingly popular approach in aviation. It allows for an alternative means of compliance with international regulations - which can result in shorter and more efficient training programs - however there are also challenges. Competency-Based Education in Aviation explores this approach to training, through interviews with aviation training experts, considering the four aviation professional groups of air traffic control, pilots, maintenance engineers, and cabin crew. Research-based and practical strategies for the effective creation, delivery, and assessment of competency-based education are described in detail.

Rezensionen

'This examination of competency-based education ranges widely and is a helpful addition to the literature. Much depends on the questions it asks about the nature of competence and how it is acquired and maintained, questions of vital importance to the future development of international civil aviation.'

James Dow, Canadian nominee to the ICAO Air Navigation Commission from 2010 to 2014

'This is a well-researched book, and its message is clearly articulated. It addresses one of the most important emerging subjects in contemporary civil aviation in an informative manner. By building upon the history of training in different aviation professions it provides the context upon which issues and solutions for endeavours on competency-based education in aviation can develop. It is "must-read" material for aviation trainers and training organizations.'

Captain Daniel E. Maurino, safety consultant
