From an exam-oriented approach to an education-oriented approach, a paradigm shift In the Netherlands, every day, 10 driving tests are stopped because the candidate drives too dangerously, because of a lack of vehicle control, or insufficient knowledge of traffic rules. We also notice an increasing amount of traffic accidents caused by alcohol, drugs and the use of the smartphone during driving a car. More awareness of the effect of one's own behavior on other road users, is needed. These so called higher order skills, must become part of driving education. The main goal therefore is, to improve the quality of driving education in Netherlands by the introduction of a competence-based assessment program. In this presentation, we give an outline what it means to assess in a more competence-oriented manner in driver education. We show how we have operationalized the concept of competence for the novice driver, the assessment and evaluation program, and its assessment rationale. Training to one single driving test is not enough to become a competent car driver. Higher order skills such as self-awareness of own driving skills and the effect of one's own behavior on other road users are needed. Testing higher order skills cannot be sufficiently done in one driving examen. It must be embedded in the course. In this presentation we would like to share and discuss the proposals we make to assess more competency-based. |
