Abstract

The objective of this research was to design a workbook for teaching and learning of road safety education for children from 5 to 6 years old, as part of the annual curriculum of the High School Sublevel. Through the collection of information from secondary bibliographic sources on international experiences in road safety education for children and following the guidelines of Ecuador's traffic control and education agencies, the road safety education topics were selected and the appropriate teaching and learning methodology for this sub-level was proposed. The contents and methodology were analyzed, corrected and validated with the teaching staff of the participating educational institution in a group discussion, applying a discussion guide with two evaluation categories: Construction of Didactic Contents and Methodology and Teaching and Learning Techniques, having as a result that: the contents of road safety education, the language used and the class model complied with the requirements of the Basic Education Curriculum of the Ministry of Education, (MINEDUC); in addition, the approach of the classes was dynamic and attractive for children of this age. Finally, three demonstration classes were developed with students and teachers of three classes, teaching the topics of the designed workbook, here an observation form and an interview guide were applied; concluding that both the contents and the methodology fulfilled the objective of facilitating the teaching and learning of road safety education for the high school sub-level, having the necessary material to teach road safety education classes during the whole school year. It is recommended that, when designing new road safety education materials, the teaching and learning process should be thoroughly researched according to the age of the students, in order to achieve the appropriate characteristics that facilitate the integration of road safety culture into the daily life of the students, avoiding that they are only informative classes that are easily forgotten.
