CDT Instructional Techniques & Training Delivery 3

Question 1

Which questioning technique is MOST effective for checking a student's hazard perception understanding after a lesson?

Accepted Answer

Open-ended 'what would you do if…' scenario questions

Answer

Open-ended scenario questions require the student to apply knowledge, revealing depth of understanding beyond simple recall.

Question 2

A CDT trainer notices a student only checks mirrors when reminded. The BEST long-term correction strategy is:
