Focus Event 7: Perspectives on Competency-Based Learning (Room 310C)

Competency-based learning has been around for a while, yet is gaining traction in the commercial aviation world as the new preferred method for pilot training and performance evaluation. This special event will gather speakers who have helped to define standards and approaches for competency-based learning from across the spectrum of military, commercial and academic approaches.  This event is special because it brings together experts on competency-based learning from multiple areas of practice:  from those in the military and academic domains who have been implementing this for some time, to those from the commercial aviation industry where the standards are newly emerging.  We will present perspectives of those who support competency-based learning as a positive path for learning assessment, as well as others who have encountered difficulty in such implementation.
