ABSTRACT:
The project team is tasked with the identification of best ISD practices and providing recommendations to the ATO on improving the instructional development (ID) processes for education and training for air traffic controllers and technicians. The team will identify, critically appraise, and synthesize best, current practices within the aviation/aerospace industry and Federal government relating to the use of Instructional Systems Design (ISD) methodologies for development of instructor-led- and e-learning occupation education and technical training. Then, the team will develop a set of criteria that define the best practices for centralized development of occupation education and technical training conducted by Federal agencies within the U.S. government that align with the mission of the Federal Aviation Administration and support the objectives of the Air Traffic Organization (ATO).
Expected Project Outcomes:
- Identify, critically appraise, and synthesize best, current practices within the aviation/aerospace industry and Federal government relating to the use of Instructional Systems Design (ISD) methodologies for development of instructor-led- and e-learning occupation education and technical training.
- Develop a set of criteria that define the best practices for centralized development of occupation education and technical training conducted by Federal agencies within the U.S. government that align with the mission of the Federal Aviation Administration and support the objectives of the Air Traffic Organization (ATO).
VALUE OF RESEARCH:
This study will inform future ISD practices at the AJI-2100 to increase productivity of the development of instruction for both the ATC and Technical Operations workforces.
