Abstract

Background and Objective: This study investigates the efficacy of skill-based training and simulation environments in aviation education. It emphasizes human resource development's importance in organizational success, particularly in industrial settings. The research focuses on a national aviation-training center, examining how simulators and training environments affects skill acquisition in 2022-2023.
research methodology: This research using an experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group approach, 38 individuals were randomly stratified into two groups (experimental and control) to study the use or non-use of the educational simulation environment. To collect data for evaluating the effectiveness of module training, an 18-question Kirkpatrick questionnaire with three sub-criteria (organization, applicability, and instructor) was used. The validity and reliability of this tool were confirmed. So reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha, 87%.
Findings: The results demonstrated that the presence of simulated environment levels is significantly different in terms of cost-effectiveness and cost evaluation compared to using the actual device. Furthermore, the findings indicated that training with simulated environments was more effective in terms of the efficacy of educational modules compared to the group that did not use these environments
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that creating a hybrid model based on simulator environments can have both economic benefits and be effective in delivering training. Overall, it can be concluded that the use of simulator environments in vocational skills training in the aviation industry is an effective approach. Learners can gain diverse skill experiences in safe conditions without time constraints. Designing a comprehensive skill-oriented educational model based on simulator environments is a step towards enhancing the effectiveness of industrial training.
