Fire Safety Game: an Educational Learning Innovation to Increase Fire Safety Knowledge among Vocational Students

Abstract

Fire is an emergency that can occur anytime and anywhere, including industrial areas, with a broad impact on losses. An innovative approach is needed to promote fire safety behavior for vocational students. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of educational games called fire safety games on fire safety towards the knowledge of fire safety behavior among vocational students. This study uses experimental research with a pre-post test design involving 38 participants who fit the inclusion criteria. Participants have randomly divided into fire safety games only 19 participants, and the fire safety game combination with PPT consisted of 19 participants. Data were analyzed using paired Ttest. The result showed significant differences in the two groups' knowledge of fire safety to prevent fire between the two groups. The results indicate that the fire safety game can be used as a learning device to increase fire safety knowledge.
