COACHING LEARNER DRIVERS
Do you like being told what to do?
Do you like being told how to do something?
Do you like being told when to do something?
Usually the answer is no, even if we do not know how to do something. We usually like to have a go at working out how to do whatever it may be. This is how the human race has developed into what we are now.
You may be more familiar with Q+A used with more developed drivers as they grasp the ways of driving, handling the car and other road users and your instruction moves away from full talk through into prompted practice. This type of tuition being called handing over of responsibility.
Coaching in the form of the HERMES Project goes further than just using Q+A to find out if your pupil has an understanding of what they are doing or why they have done something incorrect, as traditionally used. The HERMES style of coaching helps to raise the pupils awareness and responsibility of driving for themselves from the very first time they step into a car so developing their own style of driving which leads to a more natural fluent drive rather a false one they WILL drop after passing their test.
You will learn how to turn instructions into structured questions to help the pupil think of the answer and experiment with their own techniques of how to drive even from the very first lesson on controls and move off. How many times will they have been sat in a car that has stalled or set off with kangaroo juice? Most learners I have come across know which pedals are which and what they do all be it in a simple form. Our job as an instructor is to bring out what someone already knows. If they don’t know we can still lead them in the right direction then move straight back to coaching.
The new style of coaching in driving instruction is being brought into all types of education even in some forward thinking primary schools. The reason is people learn best if they have to work things out for themselves Active Learning rather than Passive Learning which is where the more traditional teaching comes in the form of lectures and being told what to do, how to do it, when to do it which can lead to lack of interest, rebellion and other problems.
Ask yourself, do you tell a pupil when to change gear (Passive), or do you let them work it out or give a prompt like the engine is loud or think about fuel economy (Active) even at explanation demonstration stages? Do you tell the pupil what they have done incorrectly or ask them to work it out or grade themselves, find out their feelings and their awareness of the responsibility they have to the safety of other road users and legality of driving?
Whatever your answer is to the above statements this one week course is designed to bring alive and reform the way you teach right from the very first lesson. Developing the use of Active learning by the pupil, keeping instruction to a minimum but for road safety and legality.
Learn in a positive atmosphere with like minded people and develop your business through an exciting way of developing the true potential of your pupils and bringing to the road a more informed aware and responsible driver that has already started to develop their own style of driving while learning to drive not after they have passed the TEST!
This is a way forward to dispelling the myth of learn to pass your test then learn to drive. I ask a pupil what is 4+4 the answer is always 8. Then ask would you argue that it is ten with a maths teacher and say his way is wrong. Then ask why spend for arguments sake £800 – 1000 on learning to drive with an instructor then say the instructor was wrong this is how you do it MY WAY!!. We all know what comes next, CRASH!!
Why not let the learner develop their own style of driving from the start of their driving career which can then be used to pass the test and continue to develop their style to use as a life long skill. Give them a free rein so long as they are safe and legal that is the requirement to pass their driving test a good drive will pass every time no matter what the cynics say.
