Summary: | 碩士 === 中華大學 === 運輸科技與物流管理學系碩士班 === 101 === Junior high school student is one of the major cyclist groups. However, most of them lack of understanding of cycling skills and traffic rules. As such, junior high school student is one of the high risk groups of cycling accident. According to related studies, there is a direct correlation between an individual’s understandings of cycling proficiency and cycling safety; the deeper an individual’s understandings of cycling proficiency, the safer he or she cycles. This study explores the implementation of cycling proficiency test of junior high school so as to improve the cycling safety of students. Investigations are conducted to survey students’, parents’, and teachers’ willingness to collaborate the implementation of these tests. Also, students’ knowledge of cycling safety and the effectiveness of teaching are examined so as to propose the implementation plans for cycling safety training. This study was conducted on the campus of the Taichung Municipal Da-Jia Junior High School. Questionnaires were distributed among the students, parents, and teachers of the junior high school, where students also took a cycling safety knowledge test; this was done by way of convenience sampling. The results of this study show that students who were taught cycling safety knowledge in the classroom do have a better understanding of the material than students who never studied the material and those studied the material on their own. Before the cycling safety knowledge tests were conducted, many students believed that schools should provide students with a cycling proficiency test free of charge; this number increases apparently after the tests were conducted. Parents and teachers also support the implementation of cycling proficiency test. Noting the results of our analyses, this study proposes suggestions to implement a cycling proficiency test in junior high schools, for reference in case such a system is implemented in the future.
