SAUAYA, Dulce et al. Road education as contribution to the commitment and civil responsibility with the safety in the traffic. Anu. investig. [online]. 2011, vol.18, pp.281-288. ISSN 1851-1686.

This work aims at divulging the features of a research conducted by the Investigación UBACyT 2010-2012. This project faces the problematic situation of assessing the eficiency of Driving Courses and their incidence in the behavior of drivers who break driving regulations. Its general objective is that citizens commit to being the rules that reinforce trafic safety in order to reduce the rate of morbidity and mortality caused by trafic accidents. The subjects of this research are people who ask for a restitution of the points that they lost due to infractions (scoring system) The methodology consist of the triangulation of data that come from surveys, group interviews and interviews to key informers. The behavior of the subjects that attend the course in order to have their points back will also be analyzed. Regarding education from the point of view of autonomy pedagogy, as stated by Paulo Freire, we seek to favour a dialectic movement by revealing both the knowledge from experience that attendants have and the facing estrategies that they put to use in risk involving situations. This project aims at turning these experiences into epistemological contributions to the trafic safety education training programs. Our expectations are that wiht the help of the media results will be transferred to the society at large as a means of preventing trafic accidents.
