The Roles and Performance of Professional Driving Instructors in Novice Driver Education

Abstract

This review article aimed to analyse existing literature regarding the roles and performance of professional driving instructors (PDIs) in novice driver education (DE). A systematic classification scheme was adopted to analyse identified articles to determine the study context of PDIs in novice DE, the competency level of PDIs in relation to experienced and learner drivers and the contributions of PDIs to the novice driver learning process. A total of 14 original research articles were identified, with no systematic reviews or meta-analyses available. Overall, all of the articles were found to be inadequate in providing an in-depth understanding of the roles and performance of PDIs in novice DE. There is an urgent need to improve current understanding of the roles of PDIs in novice DE and to work towards an internationally recognised PDI management approach.

“…Driving under stressrelated conditions has also been linked to detrimental road safety outcomes such as cognitive lapses, errors, intentional traffic violations (Wickens et al 2008) and an increased likelihood of crash involvement (Lagarde et al 2004). Therefore, road safety countermeasures aimed at increasing drivers awareness about stress symptomatology, coping and emotional management delivered via behaviour change education type programs could be helpful (Jawi et al 2017;Miller 2016).…”

Actitudes del profesorado de formación vial en formación para educar personas conductoras con riesgo cero

“…El profesorado de formación vial es un agente clave en la educación de la persona conductora, pero la investigación es escasa y dispersa, (Jawi et al, 2017;Barboza-Palomino et al, 2017;Ledesma et al, 2008) y puede deducirse, que no se ha profundizado sobre qué actitudes, habilidades, motivaciones o valores debe poseer para contribuir a una formación centrada en mejorar las aptitudes y actitudes relacionadas con la conducción segura.…”

“…El profesorado de formación vial debe fomentarla para superar esa concepción más centrada en las habilidades, y hacer consciente a su alumnado de su importancia (Rodwell et al, 2018). Esto no puede alcanzarse solo con prácticas de conducción (Jawi et al, 2017), se deberán considerar las diferencias psicosociales de las personas y adaptar el programa formativo a cada participante (Bates et al, 2019).…”
