| dc.description.abstract | The general objective of this research was to implement and evaluate a high school driver education pilot study that would identify, from selected variables, the best predictors of successful driving performance. Specific objectives were to identify and intermediate criterion for successful performance; determine the relation of selected variables and successful driving performance; identify the best predictors of successful driving performance; and establish the need for additional experimental research. An extensive review of relevant literature showed: (1) the case for the effectiveness of driver education is not proved; (2) traditional criteria of accidents and violations as evaluative data are insufficient; (3) no validated intermediate criterion instrument presently exists; (4) driver education curricula must be developed in a systemized way; (5) safe driving performance is highly correlated with practice during instruction and amount of driving experience thereafter. | en |
