I’m studying for my Aeronautical Management class and need an explanation.
Johan Bergstrom discusses two schools of thought on human error and whether or not accidents are technical failures or caused by the human. After reviewing the two videos and the readings/videos from this module week, start a blog on human error.
- Explain the meaning of human error and decide if humans are the cause of safety issues.
- Consider an aviation accident involving human error that you are aware of from other classes, or research the Tenerife accident.
- Describe the circumstances and analyze the various human error perspectives (cognitive, ergonomic, medical, psychosocial, and behavioral) of that accident.
Based on the information provided, make recommendations on what could be done to avoid or manage such an accident in the future and what is needed to improve safety. The goal of this activity is to promote critical thinking and to reflect on the topic.
Start with an ‘eye-catching’ title, then create/write your blog post before selecting ‘Post Reply’.
After you create/write your blog to this discussion page, you are expected to engage in dialogue with at least one of your classmates. Your initial posts and responses to your classmates need to be thoughtful, thorough, and comprehensive. This means your initial post needs to be enough information to thoroughly explain your thoughts. Also, your responses to your classmates’ blog entries need to be more than “I agree/disagree”. You need to elaborate and explain why you agree or disagree, and you may even want to ask additional questions.
