[HDS07-04] Development of a disaster management education program for driving commercial vehicles in the event of an earthquake
-Industry-university cooperation research with APEX CORPORATION, Ltd. and University of Hyogo-
Keywords:disaster management education program, disaster management manual, instructional design, evacuation behavior of drivers, disorientation
According to the drivers’ behavior survey of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, drivers who were driving when they encountered shaking with a seismic intensity of 6 lower or more, only 9.3% of them were able to take appropriate evacuation actions when the earthquake occurred. The reasons of the result we assume are the lack of knowledge of evacuation procedures in the event of an earthquake, and the fact that they fall into disorientation " a condition involving narrowed vision and an inability to make objective judgments about surrounding events due to extreme stress resulting from a disaster”.
APEX CORPORATION, Ltd., which operates and manages paper cup beverage vending machines, has established a cooperate research with university that studies psychology for disaster management in order to protect the lives of employees and contribute to regional disaster mitigation and preparedness through appropriate response actions. We developed a "disaster management manual for drivers of commercial vehicles" and a "disaster management education program". In developing the educational program, we adopted the ADDIE model of ID (instructional design), which is a theory for enhancing the effectiveness, efficiency, and appeal of educational activities.
From interviews with employees, it became clear that there was a need for an educational program to "learn appropriate evacuation actions without disorientation in the event of a disaster while driving a commercial vehicle." We set four learning goals: “Knowing the dangers of roads immediately after a disaster”, “Understanding the psychological state of disorientation”, “Understanding appropriate evacuation procedures”, and “Be able to use disaster prevention items related to evacuation”. The disaster management manual was created based on the contents of the learning objectives. It is laminated so that it will not deteriorate even if it is left in the car, and it is easy to browse and add or remove pages by punching holes and putting it together with a card ring.
In the disaster management education program, rather than simply reading textbooks, such as watching videos, doing drama-style group work, and using disaster prevention items, students can imagine a disaster situation and work proactively. When we created teaching guidance plans and teaching materials and implemented them for drivers of APEX, we were able to confirm the effectiveness of this program, with statistically significant improvement in ability for all eight learning objectives.
