APPLICATION OF STUDENTS 'KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN THE FIELD OF TRAFFIC

Summary/Abstract: The mission of higher education is to continuously transfer and create scientific knowledge and professional competencies through organized studies and research, which enable, first of all, social, cultural, economic and other progress of our country and its citizens, in constantly changing circumstances of life and development. Within the system of higher education, two types of studies are realized, academic (which are realized through three cycles) and vocational studies (which are realized through two cycles), and in order to ensure better quality, flexibility and transparency of higher education, the Higher Education Institution (HEI) will further specify the differences between vocational and academic studies in the learning outcomes, skills and competencies acquired in these types of studies by consistently respecting the missions of those studies. We are educated and learn throughout our lives when we gain experience and knowledge at the same time - values that will mean something to us in a later period. That is why it is important to acquire knowledge and skills at school age and during studies, which can be used later in work. Within the Academy of Technical-Educational Vocational Studies in Nis, one of the study programs is Road Traffic. Although the students who are in this study program study and acquire knowledge in the field of traffic, the aspiration was to check other students in other study programs through research, through a survey. The surveyed students answered the questions by circling one of the offered answers on the questionnaire. The most interesting questions and answers will be presented in this paper. The current education strategy in Serbia is concerned with establishing goals, directions and mechanisms for the development of education during the following ten years. Taking all daily traffic events into account, as well as the fact that the young constitute a large number of traffic users, it is necessary to consider their knowledge of traffic regulations and traffic signalization. The target group of this research are students from College of Applied Technical Sciences Niš. The paper provides the statistical data of the students' test results, as well as the most common questions and the topics to wich students paid special attention. Special importance is given to the parts, i.e. topics students found difficult to understand and to the extent to which they are familiar with the law on the road traffic safety.
