- APerformance objectives
- BLesson plans
- CBlocks of learning
- DEnabling objectives
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Blocks of learning
Blocks of learning divide a course of training into logical phases or stages, each containing related lessons that build toward a common goal, such as pre-solo maneuvers or cross-country operations.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Performance objectives describe expected outcomes of a lesson, not course structure.
- B. Lesson plans are individual instructional periods, not overall groupings.
- D. Enabling objectives are sub-steps supporting a terminal objective, not course phases.
Blocks of Learning
Logical groupings of related knowledge and skills within a course of training, such as pre-solo or cross-country phases.
- Organizes syllabus into stages
- Builds a foundation for later blocks
- Each block has terminal objectives
