Myanmar Foundation Course - mid term review

We are coming towards the end of the 6 month program for our clients in Myanmar. The program was designed for fresh staff entering the aviation industry. It has the following elements:

- Enhancement of English language
- fundamental aviation theory
- demonstration of the basic skill.

The evaluation is done based on the instructional design model, the ADDIE model. Addie model defines the training process into 5 steps, analysis. design, develop,implement and evaluate.

The 5 steps can be further expanded into different headings...

1. Analysis
- organisational objectives - which can be problem solution of performance improvement.
- training objectives
- participants description

2. Design
- Concern about the instruction strategy, broad division of topic and storyboarding and the syllabus.

3. Develop
- involve the notes and the presentation material.

4. Delivery
- The actual classroom delivery and include facilities and equipments.

5. Evaluation
- Kirkpatrick model of measurement can be used. However for simplicity we were using only level 1 and 2. Level1 is measuring the reaction of perception and level 2 is the learning measure.

Source of Data

The following are the source of data..
-students feedback
- instructors reports
- customers feedback
- management input

Summary of the Feedback
These are the some of the findings.
1. The trainees are not the fresh graduates entering first career in aircraft maintenance. The majority have 3 to 4 years experience. These are university graduates with good result in the engineering colleges.

2. The management of the Myanmar airlines want elements of practical skills and knowledge to be the main learning objectives. Thus the course contents have to be changed to included topic to build up the basic aircraft maintenance skills.

Moving Forward

Based on the feed backs, it was decided to modify the course by deleting some of the topics and adding or modify the others. The is done by creating another course, BASE,which is added to the origin course AFC to be offered to the selected customers.
