The Czech Transport Research Centre (CDV) cooperated with 34 nursery schools from the South Moravian Region during the development of a traffic education methodology for kindergartens. Using a questionnaire, a CDV representative surveyed which topics in traffic education the teachers would appreciate and which activities they should be focused on – movement, resting activity, music, art.
Based on the survey’s results, individual activities with a traffic theme were designed and the CDV representative started to test the activities in practice when working with children. In this way, the functionality and usability of all activities from the methodology could be tested.
Verification of whether the proposed activities had any effect on children took place after six months. This was done through questionnaires for the children, which they filled out together with their teachers.
In the framework of the traffic education methodology for the after-school care and other extracurricular facilities, the CDV cooperated with the primary school, where teachers who staff the after-school care sessions carried out activities from the methodology with the children and then completed the questionnaire “How they worked with the traffic education methodology”.
Questions that the CDV used for the creation of their functional methodology for traffic education are provided as a download below. Answering these questions will guide you and help you focus during the development process of the activity. Several questions in the list may furthermore serve as inspiration for questions to be asked to teachers during the pre-testing and evaluation questionnaires.
