Some Thoughts on Evidence-Based Training and a Strategy of Margins, Constraints and Risk Avoidance
The very last thing I did before entering a runway for departure was ask the First Officer, “Are you in the green?”. Everyone knew what that meant, and it was a way of opening the door for evaluation and discussion of any concerns.
A Historical Instructional Design Perspective
By Doug Farrow & KD VanDrie
Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) is a broad umbrella vocational training concept that has spread across numerous training domains / industries within the US over the last half century. It is referenced by several labels, including but not limited to competency-based, performance-based, proficiency-based and outcomes-based.
Within the domain of pilot training, it draws from the competency tradition embodied in Evidence-Based Training (EBT) as well as the performance- or proficiency-based tradition embodied in the Advanced Qualification Program (AQP). While AQP focuses more on the training and assessment of the narrow individual competencies that are the components of flight tasks, EBT focuses more on the broad, high-level competencies those flight tasks represent. In the end however, both approaches may be considered hybrid programs.
This paper reviews the history of these traditions, the primary reason why the US has, to date, preferred to maintain the proficiency tradition embodied in AQP, and more detailed guidance regarding the use of competencies within the AQP framework.
