Assessment of the state of initial knowledge of bachelors in the field of water safety
The article defines the grounds for searching for the effective model for development of the system of subject knowledge in the discipline "Safety at water bodies". The purpose of the study is to assess the state of initial knowledge of bachelors in the field of safety at water bodies. Considering the subject knowledge of students as the most reliable indicator of the effectiveness of training, the focus of the study was on the questioning method. The data obtained during the survey allowed us to conclude that the level of students' knowledge in the field of safety at water bodies is low. The presence of mostly unsystematic knowledge can be explained by the fact that at present, in the discipline "Life Safety" in educational institutions, insufficient attention is paid to the issues of ensuring safety at water bodies. An analysis of the students' answers led us to the conviction of the need to include the discipline "Safety at water bodies" in the educational process in optional classes.
