An Analysis of the Effectiveness of Fire Safety Education in High School Dormitory: An RSET-Based Behavioral Change Assessment

Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of fire safety education in high school dormitories—high-density residential environments—by assessing both cognitive and behavioral changes. Pre- and post-surveys were combined with measurement of the Required Safe Egress Time (RSET), which recorded 264 seconds from alarm activation (T₀ + 0 sec) to final evacuation completion (T₀ + 264 sec). This enabled a quantitative analysis of behavioral improvement. Results revealed that academic performance and family background significantly influenced learning outcomes, whereas the “evacuation during fire” domain showed no statistically significant change, suggesting insufficient instructional content or delivery. Policy recommendations include customized fire safety programs reflecting learner characteristics, experiential evacuation drills, school–home safety integration, mandatory dormitory fire drills, and certification with best-practice dissemination. The findings offer a practical framework for enhancing fire safety education tailored to dormitory-based schools,

contributing to improved preparedness, response capability, and student survival in real fire emergencies.
