Kurrikulering vir die opleiding van ligtemotorvoertuigbestuurders in die RSA om brandstof te bespaarOosthuizen, Samuel Hendrik January 1992 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Education)) --Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 1992 / The oil crises in the nineteen seventies led to deliberate attempts to save
fuel. The technological development of more energy efficient vehicles by
motor manufacturers in leading overseas countries resulted in substantial
fuel savings. Experts in this field however, feel that further large scale
technological improvements in the manufacturing of motor vehicles during
the nineties will not be cost effective. For this reason improved driver
training is now being considered.
In order to devise an appropriate strategy for the development of a driver
training programme to promote fuel efficiency various curriculum
development models were evaluated, and on the basis of the chosen
model, the need for such a programme was further investigated.
At present South Africa has no compulsory training for light motor vehicle
drivers. Therefore the degree to which existing voluntary training
programmes presented in South Africa include the development of fuel
efficient driving techniques, was examined. In addition, effective fuel
efficient driver training programmes from abroad were obtained and
evaluated. These programmes were used to identify deficiencies in local
programmes. On the basis of these investigations a set of guidelines was proposed for
the formulation of a training programme to promote fuel efficiency on the
part of light motor vehicle drivers.
The training programme was devised with due consideration to the current
state of driver training in the RSA, possible future developments, as well
as the needs of various institutions which might use this programme. The
completed training programme, consisting of a students' manual and a
supplementary video tape, is presented in separate modules to be used
either in their own right or on an integrated basis with existing training
material.
The students' manual and the supplementary video tape were subjected to
critical evaluation by a panel of experts in terms of technical quality and
content. It is suggested that the proposed programme could be
implemented by the School Driver Education Programme, formal driver
training schools as well as by individuals in association with the K53
system.
