Construction and Practice of Information Teaching System for Air Crew Specialty in Higher Vocational Colleges under the Background of “Combination of Work and Learning”

Abstract

The combination of work and study is an important feature of modern vocational education. In recent years, air crew specialty in higher vocational colleges has been developing vigorously. Meanwhile, the contradiction of emphasizing theory teaching instead of practice teaching has been highlighted rapidly, which has become the main factor preventing the air crew specialty from realizing the reform of combining work with study. The reasons include limited training space of traditional cabin, incomplete models and equipment, shortage of teachers and so on. By building a simulation and training platform through the civil aviation CBT system and simulating the real work of the whole process of the cabin with the aid of information-based teaching methods, students’ learning style can be changed, teaching effect can be improved, teaching reform practice can be promoted, and students' theoretical knowledge and practical ability can be improved. CBT is computer-based training, which is a method to realize students' autonomous learning by taking students' autonomous learning as the main body, teachers' guidance as the auxiliary, and computers and software as the tools. It belongs to the category of computer-aided education CBE [1]. CBT software can provide a non-coercive and interactive learning environment for learners. In the process of teaching and training, the effective introduction of information interactive technology and practical training for learners can not only fully improve learners’ learning efficiency, but also promote the occurrence of effective learning. The civil aviation CBT system is the main construction element of the information teaching system for the air crew specialty in higher vocational colleges, and it is also an important means to carry on the passenger cabin simulation training. It makes full use of information-based teaching methods and interactive way to simulate the real working process of cabin crew, so that students can choose their own learning content according to their own learning situation, and learn according to the system explanation and demonstration. The vivid demonstration interface and strong interactive function of civil aviation CBT system have improved students’ interest in learning, changed their learning style, changed their passive acceptance to active learning, solved the contradiction between emphasizing theoretical teaching and neglecting practical teaching, and provided a perfect training platform for the teaching of air crew specialty. It also expands students' learning and understanding of the structure, equipment and service requirements of various models. This paper takes the application of CBT system in cabin training of air crew major in Chengdu Polytechnic as a case to discuss the construction and practice of the information teaching system of air crew major in higher vocational colleges under the background of “combining work with study”.
