4.2 Instructor as a Critic Among the many skills instructors possess, none is more important than the ability to analyze, appraise, and judge the performance of their students. Students quite naturally see their instructors as critics and look to them for guidance, analysis, appraisal, suggestions for improvement, and encouragement. Criticism is recurring and constant, but sometimes it is formalized, put into a structure, scheduled as part of a class period, and termed a critique. A critique should improve the students' future performance and should give them something to work with; some direction and guidance to raise their level of performance. However, unless students understand the purpose of the critique, they cannot accept the criticism offered and little improvement can be expected. 4.3 Professionalism Although the word "professionalism" is used often, it is rarely defined, since a single definition will not encompass all of the qualifications of a professional. Professionalism encompases many qualities and attempts to operate as a flight instructor without all of the qualities can result in poor performance and inadequately prepared students. Flight instructors constantly emphasize preparation and performance, and they take specific steps to effectively foster learning. They clearly define goals and objectives, devise a plan of action, create a positive instructor-student relationship, present information and guidance effectively, and transfer responsibility to the students as they learn. All of these factors combine to describe the total performance of an instructor. While these distinct factors may not be apparent to the student, disregarding any one of them leads to a difficult or inefficient learning experience. Their proper application can result in a learning experience which is effective and satisfying for the student. 4.4 Demanding an adequate standard of performance Flight instructors must constantly evaluate their own effectiveness and the standard of learning and performance achieved by their students. The desire to maintain pleasant personal relationships with students must not cause the acceptance of a slow rate of learning or a low level of flight performance. Reasonable standards when strictly enforced are never resented by an earnest student. Flight instructors actually fail to provide some of the instruction their students are seeking for if they permit them to get by with substandard performance or without learning some items of knowledge pertinent to safe piloting. An even more important effect of this improper training is that such deficiencies may later allow hazardous inadequacies in the student's performance as a pilot. |
