Framtid på väg: ett projekt med trafikantundervisning i högstadiet och gymnasieskolan

Abstract [en]

"Future on the road" is a traffic education project carried out in schools in the Swedish municipality of Arboga. The project has covered six years between the ages 13 to 19, which corresponds to classes 7-9 in primary school and classes 1-3 in upper secondary school. In total, the aim was that the education programme should consist of 120 lectures, i.e. 20 lectures per year. The project has included the total population of students in Arboga, which means that approximately 500 students have been included. The education had a broader perspective than traditional traffic education programmes. The purpose was to influence values and attitudes regarding car usage and choice of transport modes in order to make youngsters more inclined to protect the environment, improve safety in traffic and reduce the community's costs arising through undesired effects of the transport system. This broad perspective covers aspects such as road safety, transport needs, choice of transport modes, pollution and environment, health, economy, etc. The results of the evaluation shows that the education functioned well in the primary school while there were several problems in the secondary school, which lead to a number of problems that reduced the possibility of achieving the goals fully. The results show that it is possible to carry out a road user education project in school but the activities must be built upon a stable and correct fundament. In the discussion section of the report, the project is related to the role of traffic education in school.
