(2) Life safety education attaches great importance to individual value and life dignity. It calls on people to understand, cherish, and protect life. Students must have strong safety awareness, and equip themselves with skills to deal with crisis and protect themselves. Therefore, it’s important to improve the theoretical research of life safety education curriculum system. (3) The design of life safety education curriculum should consider contents of sociology, pedagogy, and safety science, and combine concepts of life, safety, and education, so that a strong theoretical foundation can be built for a deep discussion of the curriculum model.
