Define Course of Training.
FI.I.C.K2
A complete series of studies leading to a specific goal such as a certificate of completion, graduation, or an academic degree.
Define Curriculum.
FI.I.C.K2
A series of courses for various pilot certificates and ratings offered by an educational institution
Define Syllabus.
FI.I.C.K2
a summary or outline of a course of study that generally contains a description of each lesson, including objectives and completion standards.
Define Lesson plan.
FI.I.C.K2
- Detailed plan for how a specific lesson is conducted
- Organized outline for a single instructional period
Should be modified to fit the learner
What are the contents of a lesson plan?
FI.I.C.K2
Objective, organization of material, teaching aids, instructor/learner actions, evaluation criteria,
completion standards
Define Training Course Outline.
FI.I.C.K2
- The content of a particular course within a curriculum

FI.I.C.K3a
- Performance-based Objectives
- Decision-based Objectives
Define Performance-Based Objectives

What importance does the ACS have in aviation training curricula?
FI.I.C.K3c
- Supply specific performance objectives based on the standards for issuance of a certificate/rating
- Often reviewed to ensure content & criterion validity
- Content Valid: Maneuvers mimic what is required in actual flying
- Criterion Valid: Completions standards are reflective of acceptable standards (reasonable)
