dc.description.abstractA study was initiated to determine if cultural background had an effect on the learning outcomes of students in the aviation programme and to determine if there was a cultural effect on the learning of technical or nontechnical flight skills. Four courses were selected; two with course material based on technical flight skills and numerical, problem-based assessment, and two with course material based on non-technical flight skills and essay based assessment. Student results were divided into international students from Hong Kong and local Australian students to form two sample groups. It was seen that Hong Kong students perform better than Australian students when learning technical flight skills by way of numerical problem-based assessment. Australian students seem to perform better when learning non-technical flight skills by way of essay-based assessment.
