ANALYSIS OF PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE PROCESS OF TEACHING CHILDREN THE CULTURE OF BEHAVIOR IN THE FIELD OF TRAFFIC SAFETY
The article provides a brief analysis of the methods and methodical recommendations used in different regions of Russia to teach children the rules of the traffic regilation and the culture of behavior on the roads and in transport. Education of safe behavior of the younger generation is perhaps one of the problems of modern society. Numerous stories about «snaggers», «street racers» say that the young generation has a developed sense of risk and almost no sense of self-preservation. The analysis shows that we do not have a system of teaching traffic safety in education system. Everything is limited to the "timid" content in the course "The World Around Us" and meetings with traffic police officers at school held from-time-to-time. The author believes that by studying different approaches, comparing them, finding similarities and differences, it is possible to combine the best pedagogical practice and create a unified system for teaching the culture of behavior in the field of road safety. In the program "Teaching the culture of behavior in the field of traffic safety in primary school" proposed by the author, the main traffic signs and rules of behavior on the road and in the car are briefly studied. The main attention is paid to the practical reproduction of real road situations, the analysis of the behavior of participants of traffic, the development of a fundamentally new approach to the process of teaching children the basics of safe behavior on the roads.
