Abstract
The current training programs for learning to drive a passenger car in Taiwan are mainly private driving schools. The current evaluation method for the teaching quality of private schools is considered unpractical due to its 51 complicated criteria, and inconsistent evaluation goals. Therefore, this study aims to review the current evaluation problems and establish a new evaluation system. The goal of the new evaluation system is to improve the educational quality of the course resulting in more knowledgeable and better drivers. The objectives are administrative quality, course education, technical education, and research and development. There are 9 criteria included in this system. This research applies the Analytical Hierarchical Process questionnaire to determine the relative weights of each objective and criteria. And, this study provides a new operational and practical evaluation model for private driving schools according to a detailed design for the measurement of every practical criterion.
