| description | Building a good understanding of the technical terms is an essential achievement for aircraft maintenance learners
for their future careers in the field of aircraft maintenance. With the recent evolution in educational technologies,
teaching and learning technical terms need to be shaped differently. Most studies on technical terms acquisition have
been conducted at college levels via the traditional mode. Hence, this qualitative study explored the implementation
of the online learning approach as a medium to learn technical terms. Data were collected from in-depth interviews
as well as online observations with fourteen first-year aircraft maintenance learners on how the online platform assists
in acquiring technical terms. Additional data was obtained from the instructor teaching them. The results of the
interview indicated that the learners improved on their technical terms acquisition in four significant aspects such as
blended learning, group learning, the role of the lecturer and the utilisation of an online dictionary. Learners also
reported that the implementation of the online learning approach enabled collaboration between the lecturer and the
learner to improve their online learning experiences. The results presented a much-needed and currently lacking,
view into the actual use and the online learning approach for technical terms acquisition among aircraft maintenance
learners in this private university. |
