Title:
NAFI Summit Encore Recorded Presentation - Instructor or Educator - What is the Difference?
Topic:
Learn To Use Professional Educators Teaching Techniques To More Effectively Apply The Fundamentals Of Instruction.
Date and Time:
Thursday, July 25, 2024, starting at 19:00 Central Daylight Time (17:00 PDT; 18:00 MDT; 20:00 EDT; 14:00 HST; 16:00 AKDT; 17:00 Arizona; Friday, July 26, 2024 00:00 GMT)
Speaker(s):
Bruce Ray
Brief Description:

Instructing instructors has more immediate yet long-term significance in aviation than in many other professions. But we are frequently using pilots instead of educators* in this situation. Although there are many disparate piecemeal attempts to apply educator techniques to instructing, I still do not know after 34 years what parts of the FAA’s FOI I can effectively apply.

The Fundamentals Of Instruction is well covered by the FAA, NAFI, SAFE, FAA, EAA, AOPA… including:

  • mechanics of teaching
  • physiology
  • psychology
  • practical effects of “being humans”

…but applying (stealing) more subtle teaching techniques from professional educators seems to be frustratingly missing.

BRUCE RAY - Presenter

Bruce started his computer company, Wild Hare Computer Systems, over 50 years ago – the same year that he took his first flying lesson.  He has been a contributing author to computer industry magazines, an technology instructor, and a solution provider to commercial and military computer clients worldwide.

On the aviation side he is a perpetual student, so far logging time in more than 75 aircraft models.  With decades of experience as both a student and an instructor in both fields, he has experienced ‘education’ from a unique and privileged perspective.

Although ATP rated, he considers the CFI certificate the most important FAA certificate.  It combines the challenges of the aviation and education fields, and has the most wide-ranging long-range effects – especially on safety.

He has seen tremendous technical advances in aviation over the decades, but unfortunately without a corresponding effectiveness in flight training.  Adopting more tools and techniques from the educational field may be one option to enhance CFI effectiveness.  This presentation will explore some of these educational strategies that will benefit CFIs and learners.
