In Hyogo Prefecture, there is a nature experience activity for 4 days and 5 nights called Nature School.Our students also participate in this nature school as teaching assistants.I will introduce an example of developing this valuable experience into a graduation research project.
PCIn the future, we will need this type of class where students understand the class by thinking while operating a tablet or tablet, and submit assignments and make presentations by sharing the data in the terminal.ICTOutdoor activities seem to be the opposite of using equipment, but we are trying to see if we can use videos, which are good at conveying knowledge, to compensate for the lack of knowledge of the teaching assistants themselves.
As a first step, we are working on video creation with the cooperation of Mikata Kogen Nature House. (Hereafter, student retrospective)
I tried using a tablet for outdoor activities (curry making)
"I'm going to make a video of making curry for my graduation thesis, can you help me?"The day of the shoot was a spring storm.There was a fallen tree on the way to the Mikata Kogen Nature House, which was the shooting location, and the road was closed.Just when I thought I wasn't lucky, I got a call saying "restored"...
On April 4th, I went to Mikata Kogen Tochinoki Village for my graduation thesis research.
The content of my graduation thesis is "Research on the introduction of information transmission devices (tablet terminals) in outdoor educational activities".Specifically, when making curry in an outdoor kitchen, we asked the children to watch a video we created on a tablet device, and convey information on how to make curry. It's about finding out if it's going to be something.the investigation5It will be held at S Elementary School, where nature school is held every month.
This time, I went to shoot a video to be used in my research.From Amagasaki3~4In the heavy rain in the morning, I took care of safety and headed carefully.On the way, we received a message from the facility staff saying, ``It will take some time to restore the fallen trees on the road to the facility.''Even before I started researching, I was keenly aware of the terror of natural phenomena.However, thanks to the good luck of the seminar members, the road was opened and I was able to go sightseeing (I was scolded by the teacher) and filming smoothly.I would like to have children actually use it and wait for the results.
