• Abstract:
  The goal of this research project was to develop a methodology to assist the Wisconsin Department of ; Transportation (WisDOT) in the evaluation of effectiveness of teen driver education programs over the ; short and long terms. The research effort was divided into two phases. Phase I focused on the ; development of an evaluative methodology that was based upon a review of the relevant literature and ; Wisconsin-specific policies and available data sources. This review culminated in a program ; assessment tool focused on four contributing areas of teen driver training and education: 1) Guardian ; Involvement; 2) Driver Education and Training Curricula Requirements; 3) GDL Coordination; and 4) ; Instructor Qualifications. The proposed methodology was presented to the Project Oversight ; Committee and was validated through two rounds of pilot testing using materials provided by programs ; and schools under the oversight of both WisDOT and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. ; The resulting methodology informed the Phase II implementation plan recommendations. Work ; products included within this report are an annotated bibliography; a knowledge base documenting best ; practices and Wisconsin-specific data sources; a methodology that may be used to analyze and evaluate ; the effectiveness of driver-training programs as they relate to the demonstrated safety and behavior of ; teen drivers in Wisconsin; and a three-phase implementation plan.
