A COMPARISON OF THE DRIVOCATOR SYSTEM AND THE CONVETIONAL CLASSROOM METHOD OF INSTRUCTION FOR ACCOMPLISHING DRIVER AND TRAFFIC SAFETY EDUCATION OBJECTIVES

THE DRIVOCATOR SYSTEM AND THE CONVENTIONAL CLASSROOM METHOD OF INSTRUCTION WERE COMPARED WITH REGARD TO ACCOMPLISHING DRIVER AND TRAFFIC SAFETY EDUCATION OBJECTIVES. NINETY-SIX STUDY SUBJECTS WERE RANDOMLY SELECTED FROM EIGHT HUNDRED TENTH GRADE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN DRIVER AND TRAFFIC SAFETY EDUCATION AT GAINESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, ALACHUA COUNTY, FLORIDA. THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP RECEIVED DRIVER AND TRAFFIC SAFETY EDUCATION CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION THROUGH THE DRIVOCATOR SYSTEM, AND THE CONTROL GROUP RECEIVED INSTRUCTION THROUGH THE CONVENTIONAL METHOD OF CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION. ALL OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL APPLICATIONS SUCH AS DRIVING SIMULATION, MULTIPLE-CAR METHOD INSTRUCTION, AND BEHIND-THE-WHEEL IN-TRAFFIC DRIVING PRACTICE, WERE STANDARDIZED IN AN EFFORT TO ISOLATE THE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONAL VARIABLES. /HSRI/
