Description
Summary:An important area in the traffic safety work in Norway is the education of competent driving teachers. This paper will present my ongoing PhD project within the subject of traffic didactics. The education of driving teachers was extended from one to two years, and lifted from upper secondary level to two years at university college level from 2004. My project will explore the new generation of driving teachers, and their process of developing a professional identity during the education, and secondly, their meeting with the established business of “old” driving instructors in real working life settings.
