Increasing traffic safety awareness in czech kindergartens through a safety education programme

Original language description

In the Czech Republic, about 600 people die in traffic accidents each year, of which approximately 5 are children and young people up to 18 years of age. The death of a child is always a huge loss for the family and society. To reduce the number of these traffic accidents, trying to protect children by education from the earliest age, we developed a methodology of traffic safety education programme for preschool children (three to six years) and tested it in practice. Ten kindergartens took part in verification of the methodology. Five traffic education topics were used. A questionnaire survey was conducted two months after the end of the children's education. Children were divided into two groups: 235 children in the experimental group who were educated in road safety, and 235 control children in the control group without this education. The aim of this study was to find out if the knowledge and experience of children who have undergone safety education programme in kindergarten are greater than those who did not have education in this topic. For comparison of knowledge among individual children groups, a two-sample t-test was used. Furthermore, it was intended to identify areas where children have the least knowledge. The results showed that children who had undergone safety education programme had higher traffic safety awareness than children in the control group. It can be assumed that if he methodology is applied across kindergartens and children will be educated in road safety, it will contribute to changing the behaviour of children and increasing the safety of chldren in road traffic.
