Description
Summary:This research paper discuss on the awareness of road safety among school children. Parents nowadays are aware on the importance of having a safe environment for their children especially on road. Besides, government effort shows that road safety education needs to be started at the early age such as school children. The government put effort in educating children on road safety education. For example, Jabatan Keselamatan Jalan Raya did embark on an initiative with the Ministry of Education of Malaysia to educate primary school children via program called “Program Pendidikan Keselamatan Jalan Raya (PKJR)”. PKJR is a learning process with the elements of best practice on road safety such as the proper way to cross the road. Based on the problem that has been identified such as lack of awareness on road safety among children and also ineffective of the road safety campaign, some solutions are suggested to counter the problem. Research done to study on the level of awareness and the main objective of the study is to educate school children on the importance of road safety. Besides, it will contribute in providing interactive learning to PKJR syllabus. In this project, prototyping model is use to demonstrate the concept of the overall design option. There are a few phases in developing the prototype which are initial investigation, requirement definition, system design, coding and testing, implementation and maintenance. An education game will be developed using Adobe Flash and then upload to website for easy access. The concept of the game is ‘play and learn’ which can help in attaining the objective to educate school children on the importance to take care of the safety on road. The scores that achieved by the children will measure the effectiveness of their learning. As a conclusion, we hope that our effort to educate children will be achieved. But if the level of effectiveness remains low, we will identify the weakness and highlight it for future improvement.
