A Study on an Actual Experience Education Method Using an Application “Shinosuta” for Community Study

Abstract

We propose an application “Shinosuta” for community study. The Shinosuta is utilized as a game collecting series of stamps at landmarks. The landmark is drawn in Japanese cards “karuta” produced by students in the Komaki Municipal Shinooka primary school. However, some students have not gone to the landmark place although they have knowledge of its history. Therefore, the purpose of the Shinosuta is to give them an experience to see the landmark, and to increase motivation for learning. We evaluated Shinosuta in 2014 and 2015, and more than 90% of all answer indicates positive.
