The experience of compiling the “At safety school” manual
• Teacher manual,
• For introducing the themes of safety and prevention into the teaching syllabus,
• For playschools, primary schools and 1st and 2nd grades in secondary schools,
• Re: safety at home, at school, on the street, throughout the territory.
The conceptual reference framework:
REQUIRES A PROGRESSION FROM AN EDUCATIVE SETTING IN WHICH
NOTIONSARE TRANSMITTED TO ONE IN WHICH
Values
Life styles
Abilities and skillsARE PROMOTED
The philosophy of health and safety as:• A maturation and expression of
protective abilities;
• Through a programme based on individual and collective experience.
The model that globally expresses this inspiration is the so-called “Michigan Model”, and has been adapted to the context of the educational guidelines of the Italian school system.

YEAR after YEAR THEY ARE RE-TACKLED,
STUDIED IN MORE DEPTH AND READAPTED TO SUIT
THE SUBJECT’S NEW PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL
LEVEL (“spiral” process”)
On this basis, in conjunction
with Public Health experts, a
group of teachers from
Bergamo’s public schools
drafted a MANUAL entitled
“At safety school!”
For each school level and different topic (home, school,
street, etc.) the manual includes the development of
skills concerning:
•General educative objectives;
•Cognitive objectives: KNOWING;
•Attitudinal objectives: KNOWING HOW TO DO;
•Behavioural objectives: KNOWING HOW TO
ACT.

TECHNOLOGYTECHNOLOGY
IDENTIFIES THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF OBJECTS
USING OBJECTS COHERENTLY WITH SAFETY FUNCTIONS AND PRINCIPLES
TO EVALUATE THE USE OF OBJECTS AND MATERIALS ACCORDING TO USAGE
Learning how to handle data concerning accidents at school, on the road and at home (COLLECTION, FILING, PROCESSING INTO TABLES AND CHARTS, PRESENTATION)
Aims – instruments and methods
Learning to design and create multi-medial safety education tools
Learning to apply the laws of physics and dynamics to evaluate a possible accident
– Collection and comments of epidemiologic data on road and domestic accidents, free time, etc.
– Methodical documentation on health education
– National and international guide lines for the development of a prevention culture
– Deepening on security themes
TRAINING COUSE FOR TEACHERS•ACQUISITION OF:
–skills in individualizing the real needs of students on the themes of health and safety
–Skills in individualizing specific didactic goals
–Acquisition of the didactic methods most appropiate for changing behaviour on the themes of health education
–Capacity to individualize from epidemiological data the most frequent problems for school-age children
–Capacity to manage and apply the Manual
–Capacity to plan specific didactic units
–Utilize the evaluation instruments of the training process
MODEL APPLICATION
• Model Application from teachers trained in almost 30 Institutes including nursery schools, elementary and high schools
• Systematization of didactis units together with the materials necessary to their teaching
• Production of materials additional to the manual and concrete examples suggested also by students
MODEL APPLICATION
• Evaluation instruments of the manual (fluidity, adaptability to various contexts)
• Evaluation instruments of learning
DOCUMENTATION CENTRE AND WEB SITE
• Creation of a documentation centre for the systematic collection and distribution to the scholastic institutes on a national level of all the didactic materials produced
• ISPESL will make available to the teachers a specific box on their website (documentation, forum, scientific details, etc)
ACTIVE INVOLVMENT OF STUDENTS
• Test for the parents to take about home safety
• Creation of an emergency plan and of the evacuation of the house with all family members
• Creation of a little guide book for risk control of accidents and fires in the home
PROJECT EVALUATION
• Creation of evaluation indicators and criteria for the quantification of the results
• Growth of a health and security culture and consequential reduction of accidents in the school-age population
SPREAD AND APPLICATION EFFECTS
• Continual enrichment of documentary and didactic material that enrich the kit which is distributed to teachers.
• Involvments of other teachers in the didactic process
• Involvment of the families (continual relation in the scholastic and domestic enviroments)
