OVERVIEW Overview of media-based education on zoss and first aid towards students’ knowledge at SDN 47 Jambi City: A Descriptive Study on the Effectiveness of Animated Educational Videos in Enhancing Safety Knowledge among Elementary School Students

Abstrak

Background: Traffic accidents involving school-aged children are a public health concern in Indonesia, particularly due to inadequate road safety education. The School Safety Zone (Zona Selamat Sekolah/ZOSS) program and First Aid (P3K) knowledge are critical in reducing the impact of accidents, yet many students lack awareness. Educational innovations such as animated videos are considered more effective than traditional lectures in improving student knowledge.

Method: This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 30 students from SDN 47 Jambi City. The intervention consisted of an animated video covering ZOSS and First Aid materials, followed by discussion. Student knowledge was assessed using a validated questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests.

Results: Prior to the intervention, 63.3% of students were in the "poor" knowledge category, with only 3.3% classified as "good." After the intervention, 76.7% of students showed "good" knowledge. Statistical analysis showed a significant improvement in mean scores from 53.1 to 82.7 (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Media-based education using animated videos significantly improves students’ knowledge of ZOSS and First Aid. This method is recommended for enhancing traffic safety and emergency preparedness education in primary schools.
