Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the effect of music and rhythm at more effective teaching of traffic education programs, to pre-school and early school age children. At this study participated 100 children at the age of 5-9 years old from primary education schools of Volos. 50 children (25 boys and 25 girls) who attended a 6 weeks music-kinetic intervention program, including two 45 minute courses per week, composed the experimental group. The other 50 children attended a typical traffic education program, without the accompaniment of music-kinetic lessons for the same period of time. Three forms with exercises based on the guide – manual of Aristotle University of Thessalonica in corporation with the Ministry of Transportation were used for the evaluation of knowledge gained by traffic education lessons. Moreover, statistic analysis was based on methods of descriptive statistics and analysis of variance with repeated measures, while significance level was defined p<0,5. Regarding children aged 5-6 years old, the experimental group had greater improvement (f1,24=311.29, p<001, n 2=9.28) while at the group of children aged 7-9 years old there was no difference during the prime measurement (f1,46=0.03, p>.05, η2=0.01), but at the final measurement the experimental group had statistically higher scores than the control group. Conclusively the accompaniment of music can have a significant contribute at teaching traffic education programs, making lesson better and more effective regarding content and performance.
