ABSTRACT

This paper investigates how flight instructors view the utility of competency-based education/training (CBE/T) during the training of new pilots. A total of ten flight instructors were interviewed and analysed through an interpretive paradigm of grounded theory. The findings indicate flight instructors of all experience levels have difficulty engaging with competency texts and have a limited theoretical understanding of CBE/T. The findings suggest possible incorrect practices are being employed by instructors. More importantly, the study highlights a concern that the current industry understanding of CBE/T directly relates to learning and safety, with a potential for negative outcomes. The paper questions if CBE/T is an appropriate model for training new pilots.

摘要

本文调查了飞行教员如何看待新飞行员培训期间基于能力的教育/培训 (CBE/T) 的效用。通过扎根理论的解释范式，共采访和分析了十名飞行教官。调查结果表明，所有经验水平的飞行教官都难以理解能力文本，并且对 CBE/T 的理论理解有限。调查结果表明，教师可能采用了不正确的做法。更重要的是，该研究强调了一个担忧，即当前行业对 CBE/T 的理解直接与学习和安全相关，可能会产生负面结果。该论文质疑 CBE/T 是否是培训新飞行员的合适模型。
