Design of a Competence-Based Assessment System for Air Traffic Control Training

This paper describes the design of an assessment system for use in air traffic control (ATC) simulator and on-the-job training at Air Traffic Control The Netherlands. The assessment system was based on a newly defined set of competencies. The ATC performance model, derived from the competence analysis, served as a framework for the design. The psychometric quality and practical usability of the assessment system have been evaluated and preliminary results are positive. More long-term evaluation is needed and planned, especially regarding possible increased output from training. The authors discuss how competence-based assessment may lead to more effective learning results and better founded pass-fail decisions.
