Abstract
Purposes: to compare the mean scores of knowledge, awareness and practice in motorcyclists before and after the experiment within the experimental group and the control group, as well as to compare the mean scores of knowledge, awareness, and practice in motorcycle riding after the experiment between the experimental group and the control group. Methods: The population were lower secondary school students studying in schools under the Basic Education Commission. The samples consisted of 36 lower secondary school student volunteers. The samples were divided into two groups; 18 experimental and 18 control group students, by simple random sampling. The instruments were the motorcycle driving safety enhancement program oriented with the self-efficacy theory and self-care theory. This program consisted of 5 activities with the consistency index equal to 1.00. The knowledge and awareness tests included 30 multi-choice questions of each test, and the practice test as a rating scale included 30 items. The consistency index ranged from 0.6 to 1.0, 0.8 to 1.0 and 1.00. Reliabilitiy values were 0.80, 0.82 and 0.86, respectively. The duration of the research was 8 weeks. Data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation. Test of the difference of the mean scores were used the Dependent t-test for within the group and the independent t - test for between groups. The results: showed that the mean scores of knowledge and awareness after the experiment were statistically significant higher than that before the experiment at the level of .05. The mean score of motorcycle riding practice was not statistically significant different at the level of .05, and the mean scores of knowledge, awareness, and practice in motorcycle riding after the experiment of the experimental group were higher than that of the control group with statistical significance at the level of .05.
