Steiger, David M. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2008
This case focuses on learning by applying the four integrating mechanisms of Nonaka's knowledge creation theory: socialization, externalization, combination and internalization. In general, such knowledge creation and internalization (i.e., learning) is critical to database students since they will be expected to apply their specialized database…

Cookson, Simon – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2009
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is currently implementing a program to improve the language proficiency of pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide. In justifying the program, ICAO has cited a number of airline accidents that were at least partly caused by language factors. Two accidents cited by ICAO are analysed in this…

Cokley, John; Rankin, William – International Journal of Training Research, 2009
A series of linked relationships is advanced which together suggest changes should be made to training programs for airside drivers at major airports in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Overall, the links suggest a relationship between the number of airside incidents such as collisions at airports, the ethnic diversity evident…

Kim, Hyejeong; Elder, Catherine – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2009
Researchers exploring the use of language use in radiotelephony communication have tended to focus on the limitations of the non-native English user and the threats which their limited control of English may pose for aviation safety (e.g. Atsushi, 2003, 2004). Hence the recent International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) policy places the onus…

Van Moere, Alistair; Suzuki, Masanori; Downey, Ryan; Cheng, Jian – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2009
This paper discusses the development of an assessment to satisfy the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Language Proficiency Requirements. The Versant Aviation English Test utilizes speech recognition technology and a computerized testing platform, such that test administration and scoring are fully automated. Developed in…

Pellegrino, Joann – SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, 2007
Children are incredibly interested in the idea of flying and the lesson presented in this article is based on that interest. In this article, the author discusses the creation of a digital presentation that could give an overview of the different types of air travel. Motivational questions teachers can use in their classroom discussions are also…

Shen, Qi – English Language Teaching, 2008
English for specific purpose (ESP) has for about 30 years been a separate branch of English language Teaching (ELT). Recent years in China, with the development of international trade and foreign exchange, more and more in-service and pre-service staffs are expected to learn practical al and useful English language in order to adapt to the new…

Budden, Michael Craig; Budden, Connie Browning – College Teaching Methods & Styles Journal, 2007
University administrators can take a cue from pilots. Pilots regularly face decision situations where much lies in the balance. So it is with university administrators. The department, college or university itself can be compared to an aircraft. In flight, there are times when the sun shines and winds are favorable: a comfortable flight results…

Dempsey, Robert; DiLisi, Gregory A.; DiLisi, Lori A.; Santo, Gretchen – Physics Teacher, 2007
This paper describes our flight aboard NASA's C9 "Weightless Wonder," an aircraft that creates multiple periods of microgravity by conducting a series of parabolic maneuvers over the Gulf of Mexico. Because passengers often develop motion sickness during these parabolic maneuvers, the C9 is more affectionately known as the "Vomit Comet." To…

Roman, Harry T. – Technology Teacher, 2007
Airplane travelers are dismayed by the long lines and seemingly chaotic activities that precede boarding a full airplane. Surely, the one who can solve this problem is going to make many travelers happy. This article describes the Jet Travel Challenge, an activity that challenges students to create some alternatives to this now frustrating…

Doscher, Stephanie Paul; Normore, Anthony H. – Journal of School Leadership, 2008
Many researchers have called for educational leaders to develop a moral grounding for their work. This essay begins a discussion of how Starratt's (2005) spiraling framework of moral responsibility represents a process through which educational leaders can evolve from taking a transactional approach to problem solving, to using moral and…

Condon, Gregory W.; Landesman, Miriam F.; Calasanz-Kaiser, Agnes – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2006
This article features NASA's FlyBy Math, a series of six standards-based distance-rate-time investigations in air traffic control. Sixth-grade students--acting as pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists--conduct an experiment and then use multiple mathematical representations to analyze and solve a problem involving two planes flying…
