Abstract

This article describes the results of a diagnostic research of preschool teachers concerning their knowledge of First Aid. 300 teachers currently employed in the Małopolskie region were tested. The results of the research helped to identify a pattern for educating future teachers in the area of First Aid. Three significant conclusions of the research are the following: 1. The level of First Aid knowledge and skills of the teachers surveyed is mostly unsatisfactory and insufficient when it comes to providing first aid (including the children they look after). 2. Current research shows that the reaction of most teachers, based on misinformation and lack of training, is actually dangerous for those receiving aid. 3. Present standards of training do not provide teachers with sufficient knowledge or training to teach their pupils the fundamentals of First Aid.
