Abstract:
The article focuses on the implementation of innovative educational methods in the study program of rescue services, with the aim of increasing students' knowledge level and expanding their range of competences and skills. The content outlines the structure of the designed educational and training module, which integrates expert knowledge and theoretical starting points with applied aspects from the field of intervention activities of rescue services in traffic accidents involving cars with alternative energy sources. The innovative nature of the module consists in the integration of interactive elements, innovative methods and forms of education geared towards practical applications. The module represents a complex and modern educational concept, focusing on connecting theoretical knowledge with practice, aiming to expand students' theoretical knowledge and improve their technical skills. The necessity for addressing this issue is not only driven by the needs of rescue practice, but above all by the complexity of continuous education for future rescue service experts. The importance of low-emission mobility and the importance of its institutionalization at the national or international level has its justification. However, with every new technology comes new challenges. This applies in case of technical intervention in an accident for all components of the Integrated Rescue System. Various security issues arise in this context. The most effective way to satisfy the needs of current and future members of the rescue services is the use of interactive teaching, the design and verification of new methods and forms of education with an orientation to practical applications, skills and experience in specific types of interventions, taking into account theoretical and practical solutions and experiences from abroad.Keywords:
