Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine teachers¡¯¡¯ safety education activities to determine the significant educational diagnosis variables and to identify their needs of safety education in early-child care centers based on the PRECEDE model.
Methods: A total of 304 teachers in early-child care centers participated in this study selected by a multi-stage stratified sampling method considering 11 regions in Seoul, Korea. Self-report type questionnaires were posted to all teachers in 220 early-child care centers by ground mailing service and the 304 teachers completed the questionnaires. The participants¡¯¡¯ responses were anonymously coded into and analyzed in SPSS program.
Results: ¡¯¡¯Scratch or bite¡¯¡¯ was the most frequent accident type(78.3%) and the frequent accident places were ¡¯¡¯classroom(88.8%)¡¯¡¯ and ¡¯¡¯playground(67.8%)¡¯¡¯. The most frequently conducted safety education activities were ¡¯¡¯reminding children their safe behaviors at the beginning and the end of daily class¡¯¡¯ and the next was ¡¯¡¯saving a special time for safety education.¡¯¡¯ For educational diagnosis factors, related to safety education activities, teachers¡¯¡¯ safety education activity was more frequent when teachers¡¯¡¯ safety knowledge was high(p<.001), when teachers had good application skills of their knowledge to their teaching activities(p<.001), when they had strong needs on safety training opportunities(p<.05), and their interests on safety education(p<.001). For enabling factors, class preparation by safety education guide-book review(p<.001), by development of educational materials(p<.001), and by search for the related reference (p<.001), and by participation to safety education training programs for teachers(p<.01) were the significant enabling factors on teachers¡¯¡¯ safety class activities. For the reinforcing factors, the center-wide support of safety education brochures to children (p<.001), the concerns of centers utilizing safety education specialists(p<.001), and the concerns about safety information collection out of centers(p<.001) were significant factors related with teachers¡¯¡¯ safety education activities.
Conclusions: The significant educational and institutional factors on teachers¡¯¡¯ safety education activities were teachers¡¯¡¯ concerns on safety education, their interests on safety knowledge, and the strong concerns on child safety education from the centers.
