Opportunities and Perspectives of Modification of the Course "Psychophysiological Basis of Driver's Activity" in the System of Additional Education

Abstract

This theoretical article is aimed at highlighting the problem associated with the training of drivers in the system of additional education (driving schools). The analysis of international experience in the development of educational programs for training drivers of various categories is presented. We consider a learning model called GDE Matrix, which has become the basis for multi-level educational programs for the training of both drivers and teachers of educational centers/driving schools in the different countries of the world. It is shown why in the programs of education of drivers in different countries of the world an emphasis is placed on purposeful psychological and pedagogical influence, which has the goal of forming an adequate assessment of oneself as a driver. The necessity of modifying the course “Psychophysiological foundations of the driver's activity” is substantiated, the possibilities and prospects of using additional interactive modules, including the study of risk factors of the transport environment for the formation of safe behavior of novice drivers.
