ABSTRACT

This study was conducted for the purpose of designing the method of systematic data collection and utilization of student injury data which can be used to establish and implement effective policies for school safety and accident prevention. The data were collected from 35,994 cases of school accidents reported by kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools in Incheon City for 6 years (2013 - 2018). It is found that the contents of the data collected in accordance with the current 「school Safety Act」 in Korea contains only the direct cause of the accidents and lacks the details necessary to make it complete, which lead to limited effects of the existing policies of educational authorities for school safety and accident prevention. The findings of this study suggest the identification of the surface and root causes of the accidents through the detailed investigation and the corrective action to prevent the recurrence of the same type of accidents.
