The lack of teacher involvement in independent training and the absence of references to good practices in implementing this curriculum pose significant obstacles. To address this, an educational ...platform known as the Merdeka Belajar Platform was developed, aimed at facilitating teachers' access to inspiration and references. This research examines the utilization of the Merdeka Belajar Platform in implementing the independent curriculum effectively, focusing on SMAS Muhammadiyah Toboali as a case study. The study's purpose is to uncover and analyze the use of the Merdeka Belajar Platform in facilitating effective implementation of the independent curriculum at SMAS Muhammadiyah Toboali. Descriptive qualitative research methods were employed, involving interviews, documentation studies, and observation for data collection. The findings revealed initial difficulties in comprehending the independent curriculum due to the rapid transition process. However, the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Platform has led to positive changes, with the optimization of the school's learning community and the emergence of good practices among colleagues. This mutual support system among teachers has underscored those advancements in science and technology present opportunities and challenges rather than obstacles, thereby enhancing educators' capacity and capabilities.
In this article, we assess the gender difference in response from driving schools to a request for information about the requirements to pass the driving licence. To this purpose, we created ...fictitious profiles for two young candidates seeking a driving licence training, a woman and a man, who were similar in all other aspects. We conducted two waves of experiment on 290 driving schools randomly selected from an exhaustive list of French driving schools. The feedback received from driving schools that responded to both candidates is examined to investigate differences in treatment between the male and female applicants. Our analysis shows that driving schools propose a slightly significantly higher maximum number of hours of preparation for the road test when the candidate is a woman: on average, driving schools propose 1.5 more hours of training to women than to men. On the other hand, we do not find a significant gender difference in the price of the training offered and few differences in other variables related to the content of the response.
To investigate the characteristics and influencing factors of the heavy metal pollution in surface dust of driving schools, 128 dust samples have been collected from 22 driving schools in Wuhu city, ...Anhui province. The distribution characteristics, sources and ecological risks of Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in the surface dust of driving schools are under detailed analysis. The results showed the elements of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cr in the surface dust of driving school from Wuhu appear pollution. The training environment of driving school, emission mode of training car and density of training car have a great influence on the content of Cr, Cu, Zn and Pb in surface dust of driving schools. The contents of Cr, Cu and Pb in the surface dust of driving schools as the following: reverse parking stall and side orientation > S bend as well as ramp and right angle bend > control point, Zn: reverse parking stall and side orientation > right angle bend > S bend and ramp > control point. Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn mainly come from exhaust emission, friction of automobile parts and tire wear during motor vehicle driving training. Co and Ni mainly come from natural sources. Although the comprehensive ecological risk index of surface dust in driving schools reaches slight ecological risk, and the elements of Pb, Zn and Cu are the main risk factors. But all above shows that enough attention should be paid to heavy metal pollution brought by training activities.
•The heavy metal content of surface dust under different microenvironments in driving school was determined.•The heavy metal content is affected by training environment, emission methods and vehicle density.•The contents of Cr, Cu and Pb: reverse parking stall, side orientation > S bend, ramp, right angle bend > control point.•The main risk factors in driving school surface dust are the elements Pb, Zn, Cu.
According to figures provided by the European Commission, more than 20,000 people die each year when traveling in the European Union (Press release European Commission, 2021). In 2019, the EU average ...of road accidents was 51 deaths per million inhabitants, with significant differences between low and high accident rates. In the Slovak Republic, drivers with a driving experience of up to 5 years (approximately 25%) cause fatal accidents every year, while drivers who belong to this group make up only 11.6% of all drivers (Statistical overviews of the agenda of traffic accident in the Slovak Republic and complete statistics Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic, 2022). One of the causes of this condition can be sought directly in driving schools. The main goal of the paper is to analyse the system of driving schools based on selected criteria in selected thirteen EU countries (Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Croatia, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Poland, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden), which show differences in numbers. People killed in traffic accidents and compare them with the system of driving schools in the Slovak Republic. The paper also looks for a link between the number of fatal traffic accidents in a given country and the driving school system.
The Society of Rehabilitation and Resumption of Driving, centered on the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Occupational and Environmental Health in Fukuoka, developed the ...Guidance for Driving Resumption for Patients with Higher Brain Dysfunction following three years of activities. However, due to many problems, such as the lack of cooperation between driving schools and medical facilities, it became necessary to standardize the Fukuoka-specific assessment of driving resumption, including the on-road evaluation. Therefore, since being established in 2016, the Fukuoka Liaison Council of Safe Driving and Medical Conditions has held a biannual meeting consisting of educational lectures, information, and discussions. One consequence has been to unify the basic test elements to be and judgment criteria by which higher brain function should be evaluated as a minimum in Fukuoka. Also, in cooperation with driving schools, those conducting on-road evaluations have been registered and the names and contact details of instructors posted on our website. Furthermore, the On-road Evaluation Request Form and On-road Evaluation Report have been unified in Fukuoka and to ensure consistency among instructors, a Judgment Guide produced. It is hoped that a similar system will expand to other prefectures in the future.
This article presents solutions that are defined as a paradigm shift in driving schools, which will allow restructuring the process of driver training and reducing the risk of accidents. Thus, the ...study discusses ways to reduce the accident rate of drivers who have recently received a license to drive a car. To achieve the goal, accident statistics were analysed depending on driving experience and driver age. The influence of the Internet and computer games on the psychology of novice drivers was also studied. Finally, the process of driving skills formation in the entrepreneurial educational process of driving schools is described. We suggested that novice drivers should demand the proper driving school and consider the criteria by which they can choose a suitable and effective driving school to obtain complete and in-depth knowledge.

Despite various traffic safety measures traffic accidents still happen. In the Czech Republic, 57 serious accidents happen every day. In situation of accident, immediate help of the bystanders can ...save lives and reduce damage. Providers of the first aid can also significantly shorten the time before the professional medical assistance arrives by performing the correct procedure of calling emergency line. Czech Red Cross estimates that approximately 10% of the traffic accidents victims should be saved if the bystanders were more able or willing to give them a first aid. In the Czech Republic the system of dispatcher-assisted resuscitation is very well elaborated. After calling the emergency numbers operators are ready to provide the help and advice. Therefore there are no high requirements to the medical knowledge of the first aid providers. That is why the mandatory first aid courses in driving school are only four hours long, what is from expert point of view very unsufficient. Therefore aim of this research was to carry out screening study of effectiveness of the first aid courses in driving schools. In frame of this study was done questionnaire survey among trainees in driving schools focused on willingness and ability to provide first aid and subjective evaluation of these competences. We used adapted Adelborg's first aid questionnaire (Sp?rgeskema om f?rdselsrelateret f?rstehj?lp og genoplivning). The questionnaire was consisted of four parts. The first part affects the socio-demographic data, the second part affects the subjective evaluation of their own competencies, the third part focuses on the evaluation of the course itself and the fourth part takes the form of a test of actual knowledge of first aid. In the fourth part were respondents asked four most important questions in line with the European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation and with International first aid and resuscitation guidelines of International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. 1) What is the phone number emergency line; 2) How should you act when you arrive at the place of fresh traffic accident where has not been given any help yet? 3) How will you know that a person has internal bleeding in a car accident? 4) How will you know that a person has a spinal injury in a car accident? Answers were given into context with other parts of questionnaire. There were 370 respondents mostly at the age of eighteen and nineteen who were applying for "B" driving license in four regions from thirteen in the Czech Republic. Survey shows alarming results. Promising number of willing respondents - 92% of young drivers intend to provide first aid in traffic accidents - gives in the light of other responses reason for serious concern. Despite high willingness only 58% of respondents feel competent to provide first aid, fair idea of how to act have 23% of respondents and the most common life-threatening states in a car accident is able to identify only few individuals. Such bad results are probably due to the unsufficient first aid courses in driving schools, which are focused mainly on theory and are lacking of practical training. Therefore there is strong need for change in system of first aid courses in driving schools towards more relevant forms of training.
