问题：在家学习驾驶员教育计划存在于几个州，但没有一个经过科学评估，以确定这些课程是否与课堂课程一样有效，用于教授驾驶员教育。超过1,300名学生被随机分配到课堂教学，或CD ROM，练习册，或互联网/练习册家庭学习课程，并比较了监考的毕业考试知识和态度得分，结果：在结业考试知识和态度得分上差异不大，但他们倾向于CD和互联网/练习册家庭学习课程，而不是课堂或练习册课程。有利于书面知识测试结果的课堂差异可能反映了对教学测试特定material.Discussion的课堂课程的偏见：研究结果目前没有令人信服的证据表明，家庭学习课程是有效的比课堂课程教学driver education.IMPACT对行业：研究结果可能会导致更广泛的使用家庭学习课程。此外，使用低成本的家庭学习课程作为两阶段驾驶员教育和培训系统的第一门课程，可以使这些课程与毕业驾驶执照相结合更可行，更容易为公众所接受。
PROBLEM: Home-study driver education programs exist in several states, but none have been scientifically evaluated to determine if such courses are as effective as classroom courses for teaching driver education.METHOD: Over 1,300 students were randomly assigned to classroom instruction, or CD ROM, workbook, or Internet/workbook home-study courses and compared on proctored exit examination knowledge and attitude scores, and written knowledge test outcomes.RESULTS: Few differences were found on exit examination knowledge and attitude scores, but they tended to favor the CD and Internet/workbook home-study courses over the classroom or workbook courses. Differences favoring the classroom on written knowledge test outcomes likely reflect a bias in classroom courses toward teaching test-specific material.DISCUSSION: The findings present no compelling evidence that home-study courses are less effective than classroom courses for teaching driver education.IMPACT ON INDUSTRY: The findings could result in more widespread use of home-study courses. Also, the use of low-cost home-study courses as the first course of a two-stage driver education and training system could make integrating such programs with graduated driver licensing more feasible and acceptable to the public.
