BEHAVIOURAL
MARKERS AND OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOURS — ATQP & EBT
(b) Behavioural markers in ATQP are observable
behaviours that contribute to superior or substandard performance within a
flight (including pre-flight and post-flight duties).
(c) A good behavioural marker:
(1) describes a specific, observable behaviour, not an attitude or personality trait, with clear definition (enactment of skills or knowledge is shown in behaviour);
(2) has demonstrated a causal relationship to performance outcome, without necessarily being present in all situations, and with its appropriateness possibly depending on context;
(3) uses simple phraseology; and
(4) describes a
clear concept.
(d) The characteristics of good behavioural
marker systems are:
(1) validity: in relation to performance
outcome;
(2) reliability: instructor or examiner
concordance (inter-rater reliability), internal consistency;
(3) sensitivity: in relation to levels of
performance;
(4) transparency: the pilots receiving the
training or checking understand the performance criteria against which they
are being rated; availability of reliability and validity data;
(5) usability: easy to train, simple
framework, easy to understand, domain-appropriate language, sensitive to rater
(i.e. examiner, instructor) workload, easy to observe;
(6) ability to provide a focus for training
goals and needs; and
(7) minimal overlap between components.
(e) For EBT mixed implementation, the operator
may refer to the Annex I definitions of ‘behaviour’ and ‘observable behaviour’
which include the concept of behavioural marker in ATQP. In other words, the
EBT OBs may be used as behavioural markers under ATQP.
Alternative Training Programs (ATQP) & Evidence Based Training (EBT) require observable behaviors (behavioral markers) for performance assessment. Effective markers are specific, linked to outcomes, and easily understood. Good systems are valid, reliable, transparent, and usable, focusing training and minimizing overlap. EBT observable behaviors can be used as behavioral markers within ATQP.
