ToR RMT.0281 New training methods and new teaching technologies

The fact
Digital technology has fundamentally changed the way of:

designing aircraft (with new aircraft types come also new

technologies);

interacting with these new aircraft types, its components, simulating the aircraft (virtual aircraft); working (information dissemination technology); teaching: tutorial and self-learning.

its tools, its documentation and, finally, maintaining them;

The current situation
In Appendix III to Part-66 point 3.1. Theoretical element of type training:

(f) Multimedia Based Training (MBT) methods may be

used to satisfy the theoretical training element either in the classroom or in a virtual controlled environment subject to the acceptance of the competent authority approving the training course.

ToR RMT.0281 New training methods and new teaching technologies

The solution
Part-66 and Part-147 need to be amended to take into consideration the following issues: Introduction of new teaching methods such as:

Distance Learning, e-learning, Web-Based Training (WBT), Multimedia-Based Training (MBT), Computer-Based Training (CBT), Simulation Training Devices (STDs), Virtual Aircraft, Mobile Learning (m-Learning), etc.;

Recommendations for the use of blended teaching methods; Potential impacts of these new teaching methods.

The objectives
The objectives of the regulatory task RMT.0281 (MDM.082) consist in:

evaluating:
the new technologies (digital aircraft, electronic engineering,
computers, Internet, etc.); staffs training.

the new teaching methods for the benefit of the maintenance

modifying Part-66 and Part-147 wherever there are benefits

of introducing these technologies and teaching methods

The objectives
(continued): giving a definition of these new methodologies evaluating the advantages and disadvantages and then proposing mitigation of their drawback or restrictions providing AMC or GM to the NAAs regarding the qualification of a computerised training programme giving recommendations for, and use of, blended teaching methods reflecting criteria addressing the course efficiency based on these methods

ToR RMT.0281 New training methods and new teaching technologies

The considerations

Simulation and e-learning have their limits. Poorly developed

and implemented e-learning courses would result in poor training. Simulation and e-learning will probably never eliminate the need for well-qualified human instructors. Good teaching will always depend on effective instructors and courses. From a tutorial point of view, the use of technology and simulation in training is not intended to entirely replace teaching and substitute traditional classroom instruction.

Appendix to ToR RMT.0281 (MDM.082)

A) Main objectives

After having given a definition and following evaluation of their pros and cons, the scope of application for the following new digital teaching methods should be defined: e-learning or computer based training (CBT) or web based training (WBT) at the training facilities (tutor-aided); e-distance learning (not tutor-aided or e-tutor available on line) away from the training facilities; simulation or synthetic training devices or STDs (level, content, theoretical and practical tasks, assessment, criteria for qualification, etc.) any other teaching methods deemed to be evaluated in the course of this rulemaking task.

Appendix to ToR RMT.0281 (MDM.082)

A) Main objectives

Criteria regarding the efficiency of every teaching method

should be given, appropriate use and limits of these new teaching methods may be recommended, as well as the appropriate balance when they are blended.

Emphasis should be put on the use and the blending of

these teaching methods, so that the training is more engaging and efficient. Many pedagogic studies confirm that the more interactive and different teaching methods are used, the better the course is at maintaining the students attention and the more efficient the course is.

Appendix to ToR RMT.0281 (MDM.082)

A) Main objectives

A regulatory framework has to be given, so that it ensures:

1. the legitimacy of these methods:
current 147.A.145 (b) states that training may only be carried out at
the locations identified in the approval certificate and/or in the maintenance training organization exposition therefore it currently excludes distance learning.

147.A.115(a) and (d) allow the use of synthetic training devices when
they are considered beneficial for the training such as fault diagnostic purposes, but more guidance should be given;

Appendix III to Part-66, point 3.(f) states that Multimedia Based

Training (MBT) methods may be used to satisfy the theoretical training element either in the classroom or in the virtual controlled environment, but further guidance and definition of the MBT and virtual controlled environment should be given;

Appendix to ToR RMT.0281 (MDM.082)

A) Main objectives

A regulatory framework has to be given, so that it ensures:

the type or part of training that these teaching methods may address, i.e.:

When, where, how and why Computer Based Training or STDs may

replace the practical portion of a type rating training course on a real aircraft? out in an actual maintenance working environment [AMC 147.A.200(d)], but no definition of actual maintenance working environment exists. necessary to address the fact that todays traditional course notes / documentation given to the student is often replaced by the access to computerized documentation through DVDs, CDs, videos and web based addresses or Internet websites or hyperlinks on computers. In some cases the student today may receive a laptop or a tablet PC with Applications (Apps) as a pedagogical support during the training.

30% of the practical training of the basic knowledge should be carried A review of 147.A.120 (maintenance training material) may be

2. A high level standard.

B) Detailed consequences
Wherever needed, but not limited to, the following aspects and their impact, should be further evaluated:

Assistance or role of the instructor or e-tutor / On-line assistance or assistance at proximity

Examination, assessment / Qualification of examiners and assessors / Certificate of recognition to a course

Facilities (to be rethought), equipment and number of students per

classroom with the assistance of a computerized training program: synchronous e-learning - learners and instructors logging on to a virtual classroom simultaneously at a predetermined time at or from separate locations, asynchronous e-learning completed independently by each learner at a time and location that is convenient (without direct contact to each other and to the instructor)

Instructional design: guidance could be developed on how to get the best

out of these new teaching methodologies (or how to avoid poorly designed training materials) and how to create effective training programs, in particular:

use of the ADDIE model (Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate) or other similar instructional design models, tools or instructional equipment (standard, qualification or evaluation), prerequisites for how to use the system and instructions for use,

logical sequences of training and identification of the learning objectives, evaluation at the end of each sequence including authentication of the learner, records,
