Abstract

This study aimed to develop a curriculum for road safety education for juveniles using motorcycles, to implement the road safety education curriculum using a website for a learning center on solutions for mortality and injury, and to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the road safety education curriculum for juveniles who use motorcycles in educational institutions in Nakhon Nayok province. The study found that assessing the effectiveness of implementing the road safety education curriculum for youngsters who use motorcycles at academic institutions in Nakhon Nayok province led to the development of the potential of leading teachers in the province. The effectiveness of the curriculum was evaluated regarding knowledge development and attitude towards safety among school teacher groups. A comparison was made on road safety knowledge based on the developed curriculum among 31 teachers (21 males and ten females) who underwent training before and after the implementation. The statistical method used was the dependent t-test. Most (74.2%) had a driver’s license, and most (90%) had experience teaching students about safety. The results of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the test on knowledge about road safety according to the developed training course for teachers, using a dependent t-test to test the research hypothesis, showed a statistically significant difference at the .05 level (p=.00, t=11.32). The average knowledge score after training was higher than before training. Before the training, the average score was 13.4, and after the training, the average score was 24.0. The evaluation result of the website for a learning center on solutions for mortality and injury among juveniles who use motorcycles was overall at the highest level (x ̅=4.43, S.D. = 0.45).
