การรับรู้การใช้ผลคะแนน The Test of English for International Communication ก่อนเข้าศึกษาและก่อนลงทะเบียนรายวิชาสหกิจศึกษาของนักศึกษาสถาบันการบินพลเรือน

This research was carried out in order to investigate the perceptions of Civil Aviation Training Center (CATC) students about the use of the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) results before studying at CATC and before co-operative education enrollment. The objective of this research was to study the perception of using TOEIC results before studying and before cooperative education enrollment and the factors that affected the perception of learning English for the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) and study the development of their English language skills for TOEIC preparation in order to propose guidelines for the development of English learning to the TOEIC test by studying and collecting data from 378 participants of 1st and 3rd year undergraduate students of CATC, Bachelor of Technology in Aviation Program in Aviation Management and Bachelor of Engineering in the academic year 2019 by using questionnaires and a random interview of 68 students. The results showed that most respondents get 405-600 English TOEIC score or Elementary Proficiency Plus level. Students were aware that CATC has clearly publicized that TOEIC result would be used for consideration before enrolling and before joining cooperative education. They realized that TOEIC was the one of a reliable and useful English language proficiency assessment. Regarding self-test preparation, it was found that most of the students were good self-learners by being aware that it must be well prepared before the test. They set their own goals in the test and also prepared their own materials used in test preparation. In the analysis of one's own ability, students knew their weaknesses and were able to improve themselves. Students realized that they would receive a higher score after their good preparation. And we also found that the helps and advices from lecturers would make students felt more confident during the TOEIC preparation process.

THE OPINIONS AND NEEDS OF SCIENCE CENTER INSTRUCTORS: THE CASE OF GOKMEN SPACE AND AVIATION TRAINING CENTER (GUHEM)

This study aimed to examine the opinions of the instructors who work at GUHEM (Gökmen Space and Aviation Training Center) on the exhibition's content, how the exhibition spaces contribute to science education, especially astronomy and aviation, and the types of visitors who frequently visit the center. Nine instructors from GUHEM's science centers participated in the study. Data were gathered using the "Instructor Opinion Form," with nine open-ended questions. The data elicited from these questions were subjected to content analysis. The findings showed that children aged 6 to 11 made up the majority of visitors; the fascinating exhibition areas focused on the Solar System and planets and interactive workshops with space and aviation themes, like those involving paper airplane construction and rocket competition, were very popular. In terms of the contribution of this center to science education, it was found that the GUHEM exhibitions played an active role in teaching the solar system, planets, and pressure. Although astronomy is the discipline with which the exhibition areas are most closely associated, it can also be linked to other disciplines like astrobiology, mathematics, and aviation. Instructors shared their worries that they won't be able to meet visitors' expectations and occasionally struggle to understand the subject during activities held at GUHEM. These findings led to the opinion that GUHEM and other science centers will function more effectively if schools and science centers collaborate more, the curriculum and exhibition content are improved, and the instructors receive professional assistance from academicians who are subject-matter experts.

The concept of national integrated risk management of aviation transport of Ukraine

In the context of modern conditions of air transport development, the concept of the national air transport integrated risk management system is substantiated. The concept is based on the definition of risk as the probability of occurrence of events in a complex of hazards of different nature, manifestations of safety vulnerabilities, consequences of past negative phenomena and explains the danger of the threat due to determination "maximum potential energy". Its remaining part is subsequently converted into kinetic energy, which affects the safety management system of air transport and has a negative impact on the sustainable development of the national economy as a whole. At the same time, priority attention is paid to the list of hazards by the criterion of deviation from the point of sustainable development, the importance of the impact of threats on the coefficient of elasticity, which allows more adequate assessment of hazards and respond to them. The classification of the main risks in the functioning of Ukrainian air transport has been developed, which includes the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, reduction of export-import operations in the economic downturn, number of flights and air passenger traffic, low congestion of airports and air infrastructure. Risks are identified in the following areas of operation and development of air transport in Ukraine: export-import operations, aviation infrastructure, air cargo, airports, air navigation service providers and general aviation, which allows early detection of risks and response to them. The concept was implemented by the State Aviation Regulation Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the State Civil Aviation Agency of Azerbaijan, Almaty International Airport (Kazakhstan), Ukraine-Air Alliance, ICAO NAU Institute, Georgian Aviation Training Center (Georgia).

Teachers and students' perceptions of code switching in aviation language learning courses

Code switching, the case of switching between two languages during the course of a conversation, has sparked much interest in the field of second language acquisition in general and in foreign language instruction, in particular. This research conducted a survey among students and teachers in aviation training center in Isfahan, Iran. The aim of the research was to assess the students and teacher's perceptions of code switching and to determine whether there were certain factors influencing these perceptions and attitudes. The study investigated forty three medium English proficient students and seven teachers at the English language learning course. A set of questionnaire containing 20 items utilizing 5-points Likert-type scale and interview were managed to quantify the attitude of code switching in classrooms. The study found that most of the teacher interviewed, sometimes used code switching mainly to explain difficult concepts and when they feel their students did not understand the materials. The students and teachers' perceptions of teachers' code switching were mostly the same about the subjects related to teacher's persona and subject access and their opinions were not in line about the subjects related to classroom management and interpersonal relation. Although code switching is considered as a medium of instruction in an EFL classroom, but research has shown the negative attitudes of learners towards their teachers' too much using of code switching.

Flight Simulator as a Tool for Flight Control System Synthesis and Handling Qualities Research

At the Department of Avionics and Control Systems problems of aeronautical control systems have been dealt with for years. Several different kinds of aeronautical control systems have been designed, prototyped and tested. These control systems are intended for general aviation aircraft and unmanned aircraft. During all research projects computer simulations and laboratory tests were made. However, since in some cases such tests were insufficient, in-flight tests were conducted leading to a series of reliable results. The in-flight tests were made with the use of M-20 Mewa aircraft (autopilot for a GA aircraft) and PZL-110 Koliber aircraft (control system for UAV and indirect flight control system for a GA aircraft). Nevertheless, in-flight testing is very expensive and problematic. To avoid some problems appearing during in-flight tests and their preparation, a simulator – which is normally used for professional pilot training – can be used. The Aviation Training Center of the Rzeszów University of Technology possesses the ALSIM AL-200 MCC flight simulator. We have started preparing this simulator for the research. It is possible to control the simulated aircraft with the use of an external control system. The solution proposed enables testing the aircraft control algorithms, indirect control laws (e.g. control laws modifying handling qualities), as well as testing and assessment of the students’ pilotage skills. Moreover, the solution makes it possible to conduct tests connected with aircraft control, crew management, crew cooperation and flight safety. The simulator allows us to test dangerous situations, which – because of safety reasons – is impossible during in-flight testing. This paper presents modifications to the simulator’s hardware and additional software, which enable the described research.
