Top Five Reasons for Failure:
Understanding why these are the top five is crucial.
Importance of appropriate and timely feedback during sessions.
Question:
Is there inconsistency in examiner assessments?
Feedback suggests ADIs/PDIs might have wrong information or not understand required competencies.
National Driver Training Standard
The 17 competencies are based on the National Driver Training Standard.
These competencies are mirrored in part three and the new audit exam.
Assessment criteria remain consistent across different checks.
Client-Centered Learning
Client-centered learning underpins the 17 competencies.
Difference between client-centered and client-led approaches.
Importance of managing risk and adapting instruction based on client needs.
Elements and Competency Assessment
All 17 competencies are interrelated and should not be viewed in isolation.
Assessment based on integrated action of all elements in a competence.
Understanding elements as "building blocks" that make up a competence.
Examination and Competencies
Examiner assessment considers all elements demonstrated during the lesson.
Competency assessments include providing feedback, managing risk, and adapting lesson plans.
Fault-Based vs. Holistic Assessment
ADI Assessment:
Holistic, observing integrated actions rather than isolated faults.
Fault-Based Assessment:
