This
is where you will submit your Field Investigations Portfolio. Remember, the
portfolio is expected to be a thoughtful, organized, and selective collection
of evidence you believe to be representative of your personal exploration,
acumen, critical thought, and application of the four investigation techniques
subject areas. Evidence can consist of documents, accident findings, and
inferences, crash lab evidence collection, evidence-based perceptions of the
impact on the industry, etc. The specific artifacts submitted in the portfolio
are up to each student, but multi-media evidence is recommended. The intention
of the portfolio entry is for the student to show mastery of the
objectives for each of the field investigation areas. See the Special
Guidance: Field Investigation Portfolio page for additional information on developing your
portfolio.
Note:
You must submit at least one artifact per fieldwork area. Your final portfolio should include at least four
artifacts, representing mastery of all module objectives in the Field
Investigations area.
You will submit your Portfolio by providing a link to the
Canvas ePortfolio you have developed to house your artifacts. Follow the
directions in the How can I share a private ePortfolio as a student? (Canvas)Links to an external site. to create a link that you will copy in the submission
box for this assignment. The link you share will give your instructor access to
view and grade your ePortfolio.
Artifact in Human Factors
In
this discussion activity, discuss the type of artifact(s) you feel will best
demonstrate your achievement of the Human Factors field investigations
objectives. In addition to your discussion points, feel free to post a sample,
outline, diagram, video clip, etc., of your artifact. You are welcome to post
your full artifact for peer feedback, but the artifacts themselves will not be
graded by your faculty until you submit your completed artifact portfolio in
Week 8. This assignment will be graded as a discussion, based on your concepts,
explanations, and rationale for the artifact, and on peer collaboration.
Remember,
your peers may all be working in any one of the other three topic areas, but
try to find common ground, and consider where your investigative techniques
topic could potentially overlap with their field investigation topic and
artifact evidence. The intention of your portfolio artifact is to show mastery
of the objectives for Human Factors Field Investigations:
Given the established role of the National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Human Performance Group, discriminate
the effectiveness of this role in finalized accident investigation
findings and recommendations.
Analyze human factors issues associated with human
error in aircraft accidents, specifically situational awareness,
decision-making, risk perception, and automation.
Demonstrate the association between human
performance investigation and aviation safety initiatives.
When
you submit your artifact to the discussion, remember that you will see a
variety of artifacts from different field investigation areas, as not everyone
is working in the same area during the field investigation weeks. Remember
to engage with your peers and provide critical feedback on the artifact samples
they have submitted. You may choose to interact with any artifact that has been
posted, regardless of the content. In other words, you do not have to find a
peer artifact that reflects the same content you have submitted.
Submit
your artifact in the Artifact Discussion for the appropriate course week by
selecting the appropriate link in the table below or navigating to the
appropriate link in the Field Investigations Mandatory Weekly Discussions:
Portfolio Artifact Submissions area.
Note:
Your instructor will remind you of the course week through an
announcement.
I will also need references added to this discussion.
