Transversal Competency Assessment in Aircraft Maintenance Training

This dataset contains qualitative data and quantitative survey data to answer the following research questions:The main research question is: <strong>which Transversal Competencies from ICAO’s Competency Framework for Aircraft Maintenance Personnel are both considered crucial yet difficult to objectively assess by the aviation industry?</strong>From this main question the following sub research questions were developed:1. Which competencies and OBs from ICAO’s CF for AMP can be objectively labelled as ‘transversal’?2. Which TVCs from ICAO’s CF for AMP are highest prioritized by the aviation industry?3. Which underlying OBs from of the highest prioritized TVCs are considered most important by the aviation industry?4. Which underlying OBs from of the highest prioritized TVCs are considered hardest to assess by the aviation industry?<br>To answer the first sub-question, the interrater-reliability was calculated based on how four raters labelled all 89 OBs. Only when ≥ 3 raters labelled an OB as ‘transversal’ it was adopted as such, and TVCs in the CF are defined as those for which at least half of the OBs have been labelled as ‘transversal’. To answer the second, third and fourth research questions, an online <em>Qualtrics </em>Likert-scale survey was distributed among aviation experts at three different international aviation conferences in April, May and July 2023. Ethical permission for this study was granted by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the TU Delft (reference 2845).<br>More background information is provided in the README file.本数据集包含定性数据与定量调查数据，旨在解答如下研究问题： 主研究问题为：**国际民航组织（ICAO）航空器维修人员能力框架中的哪些横向能力（Transversal Competencies），既被航空业视为至关重要，又难以开展客观评估？** 基于该主研究问题，本次研究衍生出以下子研究问题： 1. 国际民航组织航空器维修人员能力框架中的哪些能力与行为目标（OBs）可被客观界定为"横向能力"？ 2. 国际民航组织航空器维修人员能力框架中的哪些横向能力（TVCs，Transversal Competencies）被航空业列为最高优先级？ 3. 航空业认为最高优先级横向能力所关联的哪些底层行为目标（OBs）最为重要？ 4. 航空业认为最高优先级横向能力所关联的哪些底层行为目标（OBs）最难开展评估？ 为解答第一个子研究问题，研究基于4名评估者对全部89项行为目标（OBs）的标注结果计算了评分者间信度（interrater-reliability），仅当≥3名评估者将某一行为目标标注为"横向能力相关"时，才将其纳入横向能力范畴；而能力框架中的横向能力则定义为：其关联的行为目标中至少有一半被标注为横向能力相关。 为解答第二、第三及第四项研究问题，研究团队于2023年4月、5月及7月在三场不同的国际航空会议中，面向航空领域专家发放了基于Qualtrics平台开发的李克特（Likert）量表线上调查问卷。本研究已获得代尔夫特理工大学（TU Delft）人类研究伦理委员会的伦理批准（批准编号：2845）。 更多背景信息详见README文件。
