Driver Training and Education Programs of the Future The Royal Automobile Club of Victoria has kindly given us permission to place this document by Dr Ron Christie, RCSC Services, Pty Ltd. and Mr Warren Harrison, Eastern Professional Services, Pty Ltd. Report No: 03/03 Report Date: October 2003 ISBN: 1 875963 36		Abstract Driver training and education as a way of improving driving skills among inexperienced drivers is a complex subject. A worldwide review of driver training and related education programs, research and contemporary psychological models of learning and education revealed that no clear blueprint for the development of leading edge, driver training, education and development programs exists, although several conclusions can be drawn: Training programs of the future will need to evolve from the current conventional skill-based instructional training to focus on higher order learning and to address driver development more broadly. Training/education cannot replace the need for novices to receive large amounts of on-road, in car experience at the learner level. Further development of programs that focus on higher order skill development is needed. If evaluated and found to be effective, this may be used to supplement substantial in-car experience. There may be value in piloting programs that have been successful overseas. Licensing systems that require extensive pre-licence experience have the potential to positively influence the nature of learner driver development.
