Description

Background Childhood safety is an important concern, and learning to recognise and avoid potential hazards is broadly considered a necessary dimension of young children's formal and informal learning. This article reports on research conducted in early childhood education and care (ECEC) services located in regional and rural districts of south central New South Wales (NSW). The rationale for the study was based on a preliminary review of the literature showing that existing safety education research is primarily focused on risk factors for specific types of accident/injury (fire, road, etc), often with emphasis on vulnerable groups (Dowswell & Towner, 2002; Hendrickson, 2005; Mulvaney & Kendrick, 2006); strategies for accident/injury prevention, including issues pertaining to teaching various aspects of safety (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2001; Cullen, 1995; Price, Murnan, Thompson, Dake &Telljohann, 2005; Tomlinson & Sainsbury, 2004); and program or curriculum analyses or evaluations (Bruce & McGrath, 2005; Cullen, 1995, 1998; Gatheridge et at., 2004; Utley et al., 2001). Less is known, however, about how pedagogic approaches, modes of delivery, social contexts and existing cultural practices impact on the effectiveness of safety education programs across different cohorts. While the area of road safety has, to date, received the most consistent attention by education researchers, areas such as fire safety, water safety, home safety, farm safety, and community safety are as yet under-represented in the Australian educational research literature.
