Determinations levels of attainments first aid \\
HATLAPATKA, Vít
The focus of this paper is on the level of knowledge about providing the first aid by the pupils at the elementary schools in Mikulov region. The paper can be divided into two parts. The fist one deals with the research at the chosen elementary schools. I questioned altogether 92 boys and 86 girls at the age from eleven to fifteen years. The results of my research show that the children of this age usually do not know how to provide the first aid correctly and effectively. In the second part of my paper I tried to propose a new curriculum including the first aid training as its integral part.
