Establish beliefs, attitudes and knowledge
This link takes you to the Facilitator’s Notes containing practical advice based on our experience of running pilots of this Activity Workshop.
Activity Three Facilitator's Notes : Establish beliefs, attitudes and knowledge
The following sheet is designed to give facilitators a series of example conversation prompts which can be quickly referred to during the workshop. The list is not designed to be not exhaustive, and after some experience with running the workshops you can always add to it with prompts that you are more comfortable with.

Activity Three : Establish beliefs, attitudes and knowledge
Aim
The aim of this activity is to get the delegates to reflect upon their experiences as a driver and the importance of experience when it comes to dealing with new situations on the road.
This helps delegates consider whether learning to drive covered all the experience you will ever need for driving, and to identify their own perceived limitations by promoting reflection on their own experiences.
This activity also helps to form the group by establishing discussion and encourages delegates to contribute their views.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify situations from their own recent driving experiences which were not covered while learning to drive
- Analyse how their driving style has changed since passing the driving test
- Specify situations from their own experiences where their actions could have prevented (or did prevent) a road traffic accident
Timing
10-15 minutes

This activity is best run with the delegates organised into discussion groups of either 3 or 4.
Give the groups different quotes by young drivers and encourage them to discuss whether they agree with the quote or not. A representative from each sub-group reports their conclusions (and any disagreements within their group) to the workshop as a whole.
The quotes are about attitudes towards driving and experience in different situations. |
