Development of Comprehensive Evaluation Index for School Safety in Asia-Pacific Region

为了制定亚太地区学校安全综合评价指标，我们针对中小学教师进行了儿童安全调查。研究的目的是比较和分析它们的特点，并设计和验证量表。教师对新学校安全指标的心态与以往基于外部控制点和内部控制点的调查结果不同，而是因子分析显示，从量表中可以提取出风险厌恶、危险信息共享和对成人的信任三个组成部分。此外，老师们认识到学生自己学习的重要性。与此同时，他们既感受到成年人对社会支持认知等无形要素的需求，也感受到监控设备安装等有形要素的需求。

In order to develop the comprehensive evaluation index for school safety in the Asia-Pacific region, we conducted surveys on child safety targeting to primary and secondary school teachers. The objectives of study were to compare and analyze their character and to design and validate scale. Teachers' mindsets towards new index for school safety weren't same as the previous findings which were based on external and internal locus of control, but rather the factor analysis revealed the three components of the items can be extracted from the scales including risk aversion, sharing of hazardous information, and trust with adults. Furthermore, teachers acknowledged the importance of learning by students themselves. At the same time, they felt the needs of both intangible elements such as social support cognition by adults and tangible ones including installation of surveillance devices.
