Proposal for Teaching Materials for Preschool and Elementary School Based on the Japanese and Tokyo Government's Disaster Safety Educational Programs


Abstract eng:
After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995, the Japanese government and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) began considering educational programs for disaster mitigation. Accordingly, MEXT prepared educational materials. Later, in 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck Japan. Subsequently, the Japanese government and MEXT revised their educational material substantially. MEXT conducted programs in kindergarten, an elementary school, a junior high school, a high school, and a special support school. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government also conducted programs for kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and special support schools, which were managed under the Tokyo prefecture. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government designed the framework for these programs, and they conformed to the national educational policy. At present, an educational program is available; however, its teaching materials’ quality is not enriched. Therefore, we decided to propose and develop teaching materials that conform to MEXT’s and Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s educational policy for disaster mitigation. Two types of teaching materials were proposed: picture book teaching material for preschoolers and teaching material for upper-grade students in elementary school. In addition, teaching guidelines were developed for each to aid teachers; as these educational programs were new, teaching guidelines were necessary for teachers. The teaching materials were developed as follows. First, we developed the first version of the teaching materials. Teachers were asked to judge the validity of these materials through a survey. Then, the materials were revised based on the survey results. Second, we developed guidelines that explained the contents of the teaching materials. We also determined whether a teacher could teach a class using these guidelines. Finally, we considered the contents. Through this process, we were able to develop teaching materials and corresponding teaching guidelines. We plan to offer these materials on the Internet.
