Modernisation of fire protection education in elementary schools

Abstract

The article deals with the issue of teaching fire protection in elementary schools in the Czech Republic. The area of fire protection is one of the key areas that everyone should be familiar with and it is important to teach children how to prevent fires and how to face fires in case of danger. Thus, this article analyses the current approaches of elementary schools to teaching fire protection and compares the data obtained with approaches in teaching abroad. The obtained comparison is complemented by conducting a questionnaire survey, which underpins the current trends and possibilities of modernising the teaching itself. The results are presented in the form of graphs and the design of a potential application based on the presented mobile applications available on common mobile platforms. The conclusions of the study are summarised in the final chapter, which points to the need to expand fire protection education and the use of modern technologies. © 2024 by the authors.
