What is the difference between a critique and an evaluation?
- Evaluation is teacher oriented and usually comes first, followed by critique that is more student oriented
What is an Evaluation? What are the the different methods? (3 main)
- The assessment of student skills and knowledge against the lesson objectives
1. Oral
2. Written
3. Performance
What are the different methods of Critique? (3 main)
- Instructor
- Written
- Self-Critique
Identify and explain the characteristics of an Effective Critique (4)
- Considers good and bad performance
- Looks at individual parts and how they relate relate
- Looks at overall performance
- As varied in content as the performance being evaluated
Describe how the Instructor method of CRITIQUE is conducted. It should be:
- Instructor leads a group discussion in an instructor/student critique in which members of the class are invited to offer criticism of a performance (AIH 5-10)
- Should be:
1. Controlled
2. Organized
3. Directed with a clear purpose
Describe the Written method of CRITIQUE (its 3 advantages, 1 disadvantage)
- Instructor can devote more time and thought to it (vs an oral assessment)
- Students can keep written assessments are refer back to them
- Permanent record of suggestions, recommendations and opinions from others
(only disadvantage of written is that other members of the class do no benefit)
Describe the Self-Critique method of CRITIQUE
- If the student can effectively critique themselves, then it shows they know what they’re supposed to do
What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of the Oral method of EVALUATION
Advantages: - You can rephrase questions - Gives immediate feedback - Limited guessing Disadvantages: - Every student will answer differently - Inefficient/time consuming - No written record
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the Written method of EVALUATION
*Exact reverse of ORAL evaluation* Disadvantages: - Can't rephrase questions - No immediate feedback - Promotes guessing Advantages: - Already provided answers - Efficient/timely - Written record
Describe the Performance method of EVALUATION.
Establishing hard standards, and observing student performance to that standard.
When should you use the Oral method of EVALUATION?
When you want immediate feedback on student KNOWLEDGE, and a tailored evaluation.
When should you use the Written method of EVALUATION?
When you want a written record, and a standardized group evaluation of student(s) KNOWLEDGE.
When should you use the Performance method of EVALUATION?
When you want to evaluate SKILL
Explain the 5 Characteristics in the development of a good WRITTEN TEST?
VCURD
- Valid - measures what it is supposed to
- Comprehensive - measures all areas
- Usable - easy to give/take
- Reliable - yields consistent results
- Discriminates - detects small differences
What are the 8 Characteristics of a good CRITIQUE?
FOC COATS
- Flexible (delivery method)
- Objective (unbiased)
- Constructive (how to maintain the good and fix the bad)
- Comprehensive (covers all good/bad)
- Organized (ex. chronologically)
- Acceptable (fair and certain)
- Thoughtful
- Specific (detailed)
Why do we teach slow flight to new students? (4)
- Applies to other phases of flight
- Division of attention
- Coordination (looking outside)
- FARs requires it
In regards to Stalls, what do we teach? Why? (2)
- We teach stall RECOGNITION and RECOVERY
1. Safety
2. Required by FARs
In regards to Spins, what do we teach? (4)
- We teach spin AWARENESS
1. Aerodynamics of the 4 phases
2. Flight situations where spins could occur
3. Orientation in space
4. Anxiety
Why do we teach students about Airports and Airspace? (3)
- So they can function properly in the environment
- Provides safety rules (wx mins)
- Required to teach before solo (61.87)
What Airports and Airspace should be taught to a student pre-solo?
The immediate airports and airspace they will be flying in
What Airports and Airspace should be taught to a student pre-CERTIFICATION?
All aspects of airports and airspace that they can operate on/in with a PPL
Describe a Forward-Slip. When would you use it?
- The a/c’s longitudinal axis is NOT aligned with the runway
(applying full opposite rudder, hold aileron deflection to maintain flight path) - Increases the rate of descent without increasing airspeed
- Use when you are high on approach
Describe a Side-Slip. When would you use it?
- The a/c’s longitudinal axis IS aligned with the runway
(applying just enough rudder to keep the nose straight and a/c’s longitudinal axis aligned with runway, and a/c is banked) - Use for crosswind landings
During a Soft-Field takeoff, the goal of holding significant back pressure is:
To transfer the weight of the a/c off the wheels an to the wings as soon as possible
