Aviation Education and Training

The aviation teaching environment is unique and combines both traditional and non-traditional teaching environments. There are few books that address adult learning principles and teaching strategies relevant to the aviation context. Furthermore, aviation education has not generally benefitted from many of the developments made in the field of education. The main aims of this book are to: facilitate the development of knowledge and skills necessary to conduct effective instruction and training within the aviation context; develop an awareness of critical issues that should be of concern to aviation educators and trainers; and provide aviation education and trainers with a variety of teaching strategies that can be effective in the development of essential skills in aviation professionals. The potential readership for includes university students who want to become instructors, as well as industry personnel who are involved in any of the various domains of aviation education, from junior flight instructors to the trainer of instructors, or from training captains, or traffic controllers to crew resource management and human factors facilitators.
