[0039] Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating the composition principle of a maintenance personnel support capability learning and assessment system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment is a learning and assessment system for aircraft maintenance personnel's support capabilities, including an administrator terminal and a user terminal. The administrator terminal is used by instructors, examination staff, and assessors to manage test questions, test papers, examinations, resources, performance analysis, and users. The user terminal is used by aircraft maintenance personnel and students to take exams and learn according to the content set by the administrator terminal.

[0042] The administrator terminal includes:

[0043] The question bank management module is used to manage test question files in a hierarchical classification format. The management modes include at least entering, editing, maintaining, and deleting test question files. Each test question file includes at least a question, the correct answer, and a question explanation. The hierarchical classification refers to managing test question files according to a hierarchical structure of aircraft type, specialty, and knowledge point. The aircraft type hierarchy primarily considers the multi-aircraft support capabilities required of aircraft maintenance personnel; the specialty hierarchy primarily considers the differences in specialty settings across various aircraft types; and the knowledge point hierarchy primarily considers specific knowledge used for skills training and assessment. Test question file entry offers two methods: manual entry and template import. Question types include multiple choice, true / false, fill-in-the-blank, and subjective statement questions, among other major assessment question types. This embodiment uses a transport aircraft model as an example. If a mechanical engineer wants to set assessment questions for maintenance personnel, they can select the aircraft model (transport aircraft model), specialty (mechanical), and knowledge point (hydraulic system) in the question bank management module, and then enter the questions, including the questions, correct answers, and explanations, to form a complete question file. Alternatively, after entering the question management module, the question file can be entered first and then saved to the corresponding aircraft model, specialty, and knowledge point directory. One question file can be used for multiple aircraft models and specialties. Users can also modify or delete the content of the entered question file.

[0044] The exam paper management module is used to create exam paper templates and generate exam papers based on the selected question files in the question bank management module. The creation process of the exam paper template includes selecting the range of questions from the question files in the question bank management module, configuring the number of each question type and the score per question, and specifying the repetition rate, among other functions. In this embodiment, the exam paper is set up using maintenance personnel of a certain transport aircraft model as the examination subjects. The exam paper creator enters the exam paper management module and can first create an exam paper template, setting the question types, the number of each question type, and the score per question, etc., and then select the corresponding aircraft-specific professional knowledge points in the question bank management module to automatically generate the exam paper using the template. Alternatively, the creator can enter the exam paper management module, first select the corresponding aircraft-specific professional knowledge points in the question bank management module, and then set the question types, the number of each question type, and the score per question, etc., to generate the exam paper. The generated exam paper can also be edited and adjusted.

[0045] The examination management module is used for pre-examination preparation, in-examination management, and automatic grading after the examination. The module includes: a pre-examination preparation unit for selecting the participating unit or position, specifying the examination time and reference time period, and selecting the examination paper from the examination paper management module; an in-examination management unit for sending the examination paper to eligible candidates at the specified examination time, timing the examination, monitoring the system response status in real time, and collecting the candidates' answer sheets; and a grading unit for integrating and preprocessing the candidates' answer data after the examination, automatically grading the papers based on the questions and corresponding correct answers recorded in the question bank management module, and outputting the candidates' examination scores. In this embodiment, taking the examination of maintenance personnel for a certain type of transport aircraft as an example, the examination staff first selects the unit participating in the examination (e.g., a transport aircraft unit employee), then sets the examination time (year, month, day, start and end times), and sets the reference time period (generally, the formal examination module can be accessed 30 minutes before the examination starts, and the access is closed 5 minutes before the examination starts). Finally, the examination paper is selected in the examination paper management module (generally, a backup examination paper is also selected). Before the exam begins, examinees are identified. For those who pass verification, the exam paper is sent to them at the start of the exam, and the timer begins. The system's operation is monitored throughout the exam. After examinees submit their answers, the answer sheets are collected and organized. After the exam, the collected answer sheets undergo preprocessing, including integration. Then, based on the questions and corresponding correct answers recorded in the question bank management module, the papers are automatically graded, and the exam scores are output.

[0046] The resource management module is used to upload learning resources to the system and archive the uploaded learning resources by aircraft type for users to choose and view independently. These learning resources include video files, document data, image data, and other types of data. In this embodiment, taking a specific transport aircraft type as an example, maintenance-related videos or documents for that type of transport aircraft can be uploaded to the aircraft type category in the resource management module.

[0047] The performance analysis module is used to query the exam scores of examinees based on search criteria and perform statistical analysis on the exam scores. Specifically, it provides score queries categorized by examinee unit, aircraft type, and professional personnel; it provides statistical analysis of exam scores categorized by examinee unit, aircraft type, and specialty (e.g., accuracy rate, average score, score ranking, number of people in each score range); it provides statistical analysis of scores for examinees of the same type by exam batch; and it provides score ranking for examinees by exam subject. This embodiment uses the exam score analysis of maintenance personnel for a specific transport aircraft type as an example. Examinees can select a reference unit (e.g., a specific transport aircraft unit), and then view the average score, score ranking, and individual exam scores of all examinees. They can also view exam scores for each specialty or knowledge point (also including average score and ranking), compare the exam scores of maintenance personnel for that aircraft type in the same reference unit in the previous year with those in the current year, and perform statistical analysis of individual examinee scores. The performance analysis module provides multiple search and analysis entry points, allowing for categorized and batch-based score queries and statistical analysis as needed.

[0048] The user management module is used for user registration, login authentication, permission settings, and user information maintenance. Specifically, the system supports batch importing user information using Excel templates, establishing roles such as administrators and regular users, and assigning corresponding permissions to different roles.

[0049] The user terminal specifically includes:

[0050] The formal examination module is used by examinees to log in to the system within the reference time period, view and answer the questions during the examination period, submit their answers, and perform automatic grading. Specifically, it provides two grading modes: immediate grading and timed grading. It can also display incorrect questions and provide the correct answers and explanations for each question based on the question files recorded in the question bank management module. In this embodiment, taking maintenance personnel of a certain transport aircraft model as an example, examinees log in to the formal examination module of the assessment system within the reference time period. The formal examination module loads the question papers generated in the administrator's question paper management module into the formal examination module. After the examinees answer the questions and submit their answers during the examination period, the formal examination module can automatically grade the papers upon receiving them, display the examinees' examination scores, and can also display incorrect questions as needed. For examination sessions where it is not necessary to display examination scores immediately, grading can also be carried out centrally according to a set time.

[0051] The mock exam module is used to conduct simulated exams based on mock test papers. The exam time and process for the mock exams are the same as the official exams. In this embodiment, taking maintenance personnel of a certain transport aircraft model as an example, candidates can enter the mock exam module to practice taking the mock exam. The mock exam module can load mock exam papers based on aircraft model, specialty, and knowledge points (the mock exam papers are also generated by the test paper management module). The mock exam process is the same as the official exam, and it can also automatically grade the papers and display the exam scores and incorrect questions after submission.

[0052] The skills training module allows users to select learning resources and / or test question files for specific models, majors, and knowledge points for learning and / or practice. Users should be able to conduct targeted skills training based on their exam scores, focusing on individual questions, and immediately see the correct results and answer explanations after completing the exercises.

[0053] The performance analysis module allows users to categorize and query their past exam scores and trends based on search criteria. Users can then focus on learning and strengthening modules they are not yet proficient in, thereby improving their professional skills.

[0054] The incorrect question recording module allows users to view questions they answered incorrectly in official exams, mock exams, and skills training, and links to the corresponding model-specific knowledge in the learning resource module for those incorrect questions, enabling users to learn and strengthen their knowledge of that model.
