Preparation of Training Sets for Different Segments of the Society in order to Reduce/Prevent the Spread of the Disease During and After the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

In the project, it is aimed to implement education, which is one of the most important tools to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic as soon as possible, by targeting different occupational groups and social segments, and to ensure that these groups can access education in every environment with various technological tools. Despite the fact that a long time has passed after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected life all over the world, the number of cases continues to increase, causing the issue to remain hot as the first item on the agenda. However, although the measures to reduce the transmission are very simple, it is still seen that the transmission continues rapidly. In the project, training sets prepared for students, teachers, tradesmen and craftsmen, those working in medium and large-scale factories, for the profession and society, were made available on platforms that can be easily accessed by many segments, such as web pages and social media environments, both in visual and written form. In order to ensure that it reaches the target audience directly, cooperation has been made with professional chambers and information messages have been sent to its members through these chambers. Efficiency measurements are also made with the applied and ongoing surveys. Thus, it is thought that it will be ensured that different segments of society adopt the measures they can take in a short time, as they see that they can use them during their professional practice. In addition to these, information about the disease has been created in a way that can be updated dynamically on the same platforms, and training sets that can be converted into printed materials for distribution when necessary have been prepared. General educational content about COVID-19 disease was prepared, educational scenarios were written and models were designed for distance education. The content has been prepared as video/animation, which can be used on various technological platforms with the method of narration. Following the use of these training sets, which form the basis of the project, it will be possible to measure the actual effectiveness as a result of measurements made with various methods. For this purpose, in cooperation with institutions/organizations such as İzmir Provincial Directorate of National Education, Aegean Region Chamber of Industry, İzmir Union of Chambers of Craftsmen and Craftsmen, and NGOs, trainings were delivered to people in the mentioned occupational groups "to address". COVID-19 disease has been a disease proving the principle of "prevention is superior to cure", an important public health rule that has always been advocated. The fact that the transmission of this disease can be prevented by measures that can be taken individually such as hygiene, mask and distance requires that these simple rules be constantly reminded and kept up to date. As a result, it is thought that the measures taken by the government, restrictions, trainings, public spots, as well as the implementation of similar tools in this project prepared by scientists, associations and foundations, and the widespread use of the vaccine contributed to the control of the pandemic.
