ABSTRACT
Figure 8.1 presents a systematic model for pilot judgment training. It suggests five stages of the instructional systems design including assessment, selection, development, training and evaluation. A part of the development phase is the TECEP model (Figure 8.2) which is based on a model developed by Micheli (1972) to show how various training media and training principles apply to provide the best training for the least cost. There are several aspects of the design that should be pointed out because they are sometimes forgotten or ignored in training systems. First, the training is based on behavioral objectives. Therefore, strong early emphasis needs to be placed on the development of specific behavior objectives for the training. Second, the training is geared for the trainee level of experience (e.g., private, commercial, etc.). Third, the training begins with the instructor. Because of the nature of judgment training, a strong emphasis must be placed on instructor training to be sure it is taught properly. Fourth, there is a strong evaluation emphasis which provides feedback both to the program and to the behavioral objectives that feed into the program. Because judgment training development will continue to evolve for several years feedback is essential to provide continuous improvement.
