Experimental Research on Children’s Water Safety Education Model in China

Objective: To examine the impact of swimming safety education mode on the swimming safety knowledge, swimming safety skills, swimming safety attitudes, and dangerous swimming behaviors of primary school students under the background of “health education”.Methods: A total of 82 second-grade students in elementary school were selected as experimental subjects, and the repeated measures analysis of variance experiment design was used to carry out the research.Results: After the experiment, the swimming safety education model significantly increased the scores of swimming safety knowledge and skills, the difference was statistically significant (t=4.060, 5.325, P<0.05), and the attitude and behavior scores decreased, and the difference was statistically significant (t= −4.392, −2.201, P<0.05); After the experiment, the swimming safety education model is more effective in swimming safety knowledge, attitude and behavior than the traditional swimming teaching, and the difference is statistically significant (t=2.699, 3.852, 4.308, P <0.05); After the experiment, the traditional swimming teaching model compared with the control group, the difference in swimming safety skills was statistically significant (t=4.704, P<0.05), and other dimensions were homogeneous. The traditional swimming teaching can only improve student’s swimming safety skills, but cannot reduce student’s drowning injuries. The swimming safety education model is superior to the traditional swimming teaching in terms of swimming safety knowledge, attitudes and behaviors.
