A cybernetic unit in driver education was developed to help grade 10 students develop the skills needed to acquire and process driver education information and prepare for the driving phase of driver education in grade 11. Students used a simulator to engage in a series of scenarios designed to promote development of social, behavioral, and mental processing skills. The students received training in using the simulator, creating graphic organizers, taking notes, and keeping a journal. They used the simulator to engage in self-corrected behavior and evaluate themselves from self-corrected feedback. The course also featured cooperative learning sessions and resolution lessons. A series of questionnaires and surveys about road rage and attitudes toward safe driving were administered before and after the 9-week course. A comparison of the students' pretest and posttest scores established that the course improved their knowledge of how to avoid road rage, their ability to identify and analyze aggressive and/or dangerous acts, and their critical and creative thinking skills. (The bibliography lists 30 references. The following items are appended: a road rage survey; student questionnaires on dangerous acts and aggressive acts; checklists to assess novice drivers' creative and critical thinking skills; and a cybernetic unit assessment sheet.)
