Effective Study Skills For Air Traffic Control: Using Learning Styles To Boost Recall & Retention - Paperback

by Peter Trono (Foreword by), Kristi K. Sabo (Author)

Do you know "How" you learn the best; the most aligned with your natural learning preferences? During years of teaching air traffic controllers in college classroom settings, Kristi Sabo noticed that aviation studies students primarily used one learning method. Sabo's book offers tried and true learning systems in bite sized lessons. When you strategically utilize multiple learning styles your learning is accelerated. Not only do you learn faster, with more initial accuracy, but you retain the information far longer. In Effective Study Skills For Air Traffic Control, Sabo showcases her deep enthusiasm for helping young air traffic controllers figure out how to absorb the gigantic amount of information that is necessary to learn and retain during schooling and the Oklahoma City pass/ fail Academy. You will also find help if you are seeking to hire on with the FAA without previous aviation studies. Training programs in the FAA are wearing, even for an experienced student. Air traffic control hiring requires you to complete both classroom and on the job training. All potential air traffic controllers are students for a period of time than can range from twelve to forty eight months. Some of what you will be required to learn is technical knowledge, some is plain rote memorization, and some is phraseology, the air traffic control language. Another category that is different than much of your past schooling is the memorization of visual materials, maps with three dimensional airspace boundaries. There are different effective study skills for these types of information. You need a new model for studying; intentional, strategic study skills that actually lessen the amount of overall time required to gain an understanding of complex material and long lists of information to be memorized. You need more than just an education. You need a new way of thinking about your education. We have applications for our smart devices, how would you like to learn some ways to boost your brain power, like a brain application to help you learn more efficiently and retain critical information long after a test. At Go Brain Boost our goal is to help students realize their potential, filling the gap in learning by teaching you HOW to study. Be more effective with your study!
