Additional Information
The proposed training and teaching module aims to enhance the professionalism and competence of driving school instructors, in line with efforts to reduce the high rate of motorcycle accidents in Malaysia. The module emphasizes three main pillars: psychomotor skills, interaction skills, and safety accountability. In terms of psychomotor, instructors are exposed to motorcycle technology and safe riding techniques such as braking, cornering, balancing, and accident avoidance. From the interaction perspective, the module focuses on the ability to assess road risks, manage interactions with other road users, utilize digital technologies such as Google Maps/Waze, and handle scenarios involving traffic congestion, adverse weather, nighttime riding, and hilly terrain. As for the affective aspect, it fosters accountability and instructor ethics, encourages self-initiated safety riding, and evaluates the impact of accidents on individuals, families, society, and the nation. The implementation strategy combines theoretical approaches (interactive lectures, accident videos, digital quizzes), practical training (circuit exercises and simulations), and value development (reflection, role-play, and group discussions). Although there are financial implications such as the cost of module development, provision of practical equipment, and technological support, the benefits are highly significant, namely producing more competent, ethical, and professional instructors who contribute to reducing road accidents nationwide. Therefore, this module should be approved and integrated as part of the official training program for driving school instructors, with continuous monitoring and evaluation.
