TITLE Challenges in Modern Mathematics Education for Non-STEM Graduates in Aviation: A Systematic Review |
 PDF |
ABSTRACT This literature review systematically explored the challenges faced by non-STEM graduates in acquiring essential mathematical competencies for aviation-related careers. Although mathematics education has been widely studied, limited research has focused on the unique needs of non-STEM learners in the aviation sector, a field that requires applied skills such as spatial reasoning, data interpretation, and problem-solving. The key challenges identified were foundational skill deficiencies, curriculum misalignment, low motivation, and insufficient pedagogical support. A systematic literature review methodology was employed, drawing on peer-reviewed studies from reputable academic databases, such as Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Springer. This review highlights effective strategies, such as blended learning, flipped classrooms, gamification, and computer-aided instruction, while emphasizing the need for contextualized aviation-specific content. The findings revealed significant research gaps in instructional design and assessment practices for this demographic. Addressing these gaps through targeted interventions and evidence-based pedagogies is essential for improving mathematics education and operational readiness among non-STEM graduates in aviation. |
