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

Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 3

Abstract

Tis review article aimed to analyse existing literature regarding the roles and performance of professional driving instructors (PDIs) in novice driver education (DE). A systematic classifcation scheme was adopted to analyse identifed 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 identifed, 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. Tere 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.
