Abstract (2. Language):
The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of Basic Life Safety Training
Program developed by the researchers on the children’s “life safety” knowledge. The program was developed for six
to seven-year-old children and composed of twelve different lectures. The survey took place at two preschool
educational facility in Agri region and it was applied to a total of 30 children, i.e., 18 girls and 12 boys, studying in a
six-year-old learning group. The final intent of the program is to raise awareness among the children for the
possible dangers, to train them for alerting danger and getting out of any dangerous situation and to build some skills
for how to act in danger. The program was developed to fit the development characteristics of six-year-old children.
Individual interviews, ahead of and following the program, were conducted with the children participating in the
survey. ‘’Life Safety Training Program for Children’’ is composed of five sub-sections. Those are; child alone at
home, child alone in the garden, child alone on the traffic, child abuse, child and fire. One can see the total
efficiency of the program by considering the difference in the scores before and after the program. Putting the life
safety training program in place to National Education Curriculum and thus providing a safety awareness in a
systematic way in the early stages of childhood can be proposed.
