Children Road Safety Education via Web

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.
