ToR RMT.0281 New training methods and new teaching technologies
13
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, its tools, its documentation and, finally, maintaining them;
simulating the aircraft (virtual aircraft);
working (information dissemination technology);
teaching: tutorial and self-learning.

14
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.
No further guidance
No AMC/GM

ToR RMT.0281 New training methods and new teaching technologies
15
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.);
the new teaching methods for the benefit of the maintenance staffs training.
modifying Part-66 and Part-147 wherever there are benefits of introducing these technologies and teaching methods
21/22 May 2013 EAMTC Instructor Seminar RMT.0281

ToR RMT.0281 New training methods and new teaching technologies
17
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

The objectives
(continued) considering the potential impacts of these new teaching
methods on the training in terms of: content, level, duration, learning objectives, competence to be gained, documentation, assessment, examination and examiners, benefits and limits for the practical tasks

ToR RMT.0281 New training methods and new teaching technologies
19
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.

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.

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.

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)
23
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?
30% of the practical training of the basic knowledge should be carried out in an actual maintenance working environment [AMC 147.A.200(d)], but no definition of actual maintenance working environment exists.
A review of 147.A.120 (maintenance training material) may be 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.
2. A high level standard.

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

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

B) Detailed consequences
Wherever needed, but not limited to, the following aspects and their impact, should be further evaluated: (contd)
asynchronous e-learning as the learners lose direct contact with their instructor, how to:
ensure the motivation of the learners,
check the learners ability to use computers or the technologies,
ensure that the learning objectives are reached
management structure of the system: administrators, password and secure access,
protections, authentication, confidentiality and track changes when appropriate

B) Detailed consequences
Wherever needed, but not limited to, the following aspects and their impact, should be further evaluated: (contd)
Assistance to the Competent Authorities (how to allow or validate the use of these training methods and tools development of requirements in section B of EC n2042/2003); development of AMCs and GMs to evaluate the new training devices, their simulation capabilities, their associated programmes and their limits
Any other aspects that may mitigate or encourage the use of these teaching methods, like:
forum or chat between tutors and students, post comments to a forum for classmates and the instructor to review at a later stage, quality system (management system) and evaluation of the course; impact on the MTOE, privileges of the Part-147 organisation and the certificates of recognition, etc.
