A once-off reassessment in two theoretical knowledge questionnaires may be permitted which will include attaining not less than 20% below the pass mark on the first attempt. Should a student obtain less than 70% on the first attempt for an assignment activity he/she will be afforded a once-off opportunity to complete the activity (applicable to each assignment activity for each module that contains assignment activities) during a second attempt. Should a student fail to successfully complete an assignment activity, during the second attempt, he/she will be withdrawn from the course. Obtaining less than 70% for more than two theoretical assessments (examinations) will result in withdrawal from the course. ( If a learner obtains less than 20% below the pass mark for any assessment, NO Re-assessment will be permitted, and the learner subsequently withdrawn from the course) A module final mark will be calculated using the weightings assigned to the assignments and assessments, as reflected in the table below.

COURSE OUTCOMES An outcome is a statement that indicates what a student is required to do under specific circumstances and must be stated clearly. In order to enhance learning and identify the best possible teaching and assessment methods, it is important to be aware of which learning domain applies to each outcome. A domain is an area of learning and these three areas are the knowledge required to perform a task (cognitive domain), the skill to perform the task (psychomotor domain) and the right attitude towards the performance of the task (affective domain). No human activity falls within only one of the domains and in the performance of any task the three domains will be utilised to a greater or lesser extent. In this curriculum the following letter will be used to denote the different domains: C Cognitive A Affective P Psychomotor Each of these domains also has levels of complexity which are expressed in terms of verbs that progress from easy to difficult. These verbs are classified in hierarchies which are referred to as taxonomies. A multitude of these taxonomies exist and have been proposed by different authors, however the following three taxonomies will be used for each of the respective domains: • Cognitive skills – Bloom’s taxonomy • Psychomotor skills – Harrow’s taxonomy • Affective skills – Krathwohl’s taxonomy (For details on the levels within each of these taxonomies refer to Appendix A). OUTCOME : On successful completion of this course, AT/AIM(S) students will be able to: : Apply knowledge of ICAO Organisation, Procedures and Documents to Air Traffic

Management and Aeronautical Information Services. : Analyse Air Traffic Control and Aeronautical Information Management theory and

procedures. : Compile Air Traffic Service messages with minimum error. : Apply knowledge of the physical characteristics of aerodromes and heliports. : Make use of navigation principles and practices and charts to conduct Air Traffic

Services. : Establish the influence of aviation legislation on Air Traffic Management and Aeronautical

Information Services. : Determine search and rescue procedures as applicable to Air Traffic Management and

Aeronautical Information Services. : Differentiate between different instrument and approach procedures in Air Traffic Control.

: Relate knowledge of aircraft identification, performance and principles of flight to Air Traffic

Management and Aeronautical Information Services. : Assess the influence of ATM/cns on Air Traffic Management and Aeronautical Information

Services. : Demonstrate knowledge of the overall operations contributing towards the aviation industry.

Appendix A Taxonomy of Bloom – Cognitive Domain The cognitive domain is associated with information and knowledge. Bloom has divided cognitive outcomes into six levels. He suggests that students move through a sequence of stages on their way to full application of knowledge.

Level Explained 1. Knowledge Knowledge, the lowest level of learning, is the level most often used for evaluation.

At this level, understanding is not assessed; it is only the student’s ability to memorise and recall that is being assessed.

2. Comprehension At comprehension level, the student demonstrates that he/she understood the material. The student can therefore translate, interpret and extrapolate information.

3. Application The third level is application. It is closely related to comprehension, but goes one step further. It is the behaviour associated with using what has been learnt. For example, the student will choose a formula to solve a problem.

4. Analysis Analysis requires the student to reduce the problem into its component parts and to understand how they fit together to develop divergent conclusions by identifying motives or causes, making inferences, and/or finding evidence to support generalisations. For example, analysis of elements relationships etc.

5. Synthesis Synthesis, on the other hand means that the student can take component parts and combine them to form a whole, which is entirely new or was clearly not there before. This is usually a problem-solving situation and requires an element of creativity whereby the student is expected to create a unique plan.

6. Evaluation Evaluation is the highest level of Bloom’s taxonomy. This requires that the student make judgments and evaluate ideas, information etc. Such judgments are based on internal evidence and external criteria. Or, judging the value of material based on personal values / opinions, resulting in an end product, with a given purpose, without real right or wrong answers.



Taxonomy of Harrow – Psychomotor Domain Psychomotor skills can also be organised in a hierarchy form easier to more complex levels. Indicating a note on a piano is easier than performing a piece of music

Level Explained Level 1. Reflex movement – involuntary movements present at birth or developing during maturation, such as the grasping reflex of a baby

Objectives are not written on this level. The movements are not learnt, but are reflexes.

Level 2 Basic movements – these are basic movements, which are the elements of more complex movements, for instance, movement of the leg and foot to kick a ball or movement of the hand to hold a pencil

There are few objectives written on this level as well. It is usually only used for remedial purposes, e.g. when a student has problems jumping, reaching. Etc.

Level 3. Perceptual abilities – the ability of the brain to receive and transmit messages form sensory stimuli, such as responding to visual, auditory and other sensory stimuli

All these activities are mainly discrimination, discriminate visually, discriminate sounds

Level 4. Physical abilities – characteristics of a person that allow efficient movement. These abilities are dependent on factors such as development or age, for example, the ability to write legibly depends on the level of a persons’ development and exposure to the relevant exercise.

Moves quickly, stops, immediately, endures long periods of fatigue.

Level 5. Skilled movements – simple and complex movements that have been learnt, such as using a computer or playing a musical instrument

Changes or modifies basic movement patterns. Use a tool to modify or make adjustments

Level 6. Non-verbal communication – this level refers to communication forms that do not require the use of words, for instance, expression through gesture, facial expressions, body movements (language), mime, dance, etc

Move expressively while communicating, use movement to express joy, perform a piece of music with passion and intonation.



Taxonomy of Krathwohl – Affective Domain

Level Explained Level 1. Receiving/ attending: The communication will be listened to, the person was aware of the message. The subcategories are: Awareness, willingness to receive, do not avoid, tolerate controlled or selected attendance

Studies newspapers. Sensitive to the situation. Listen to what is said

Level 2 Responding: Some sort of response or a replay is given, interest is displayed, arousal occurred, but commitment is still low. Sub-categories are: Responding, Satisfaction to response, Sense of pleasure is experienced in response

Willing applaud. Does what is told. Voluntary agrees to. Assumes responsibility when asked. Enjoying music.

Level 3. Valuing: The attitude has worth or is valued by the person. It is experienced as worthwhile, appreciated and important. It is experienced as belief and thus has motivating power and enthuses the individual. The sub-categories are: Accept the value, it has worth. Prefers the value, becomes committed to it. Initiation into the essence of the value – i.e. true education

Becomes actively involved in the campaign against the abuse of women and children. Accepts his/her role as part of the organisation. Supports the aims of the project

Level 4. Organisation: This is in situations where there are more than one value or attitude. An organisation pattern, ranking, ordering is needed. To defend one’s values is implied. Sub categories are: Conceptualisation of the value: abstract and symbolic. Organisation of the value: ordering of values occur

Develop plans for mass action. Forms own code of conduct. Associates with public figure. Weighs pros and cons for a cause of action

Level 5. Characterisation by a value: It has to do with a person’s character, uniqueness as a human being. The values are placed in a coherent framework, which lends consistency. Beliefs, values and attitudes together form a view of life.

Develops and internally consistent value system. Accepts the fact that new information changes opinions. Believes in the worth and dignity of someone.
