Developing and Evaluating a Disaster Education Teaching Material Support System for Sharing Educational Knowledge

Abstract

This study developed a system and teaching material creation support model by applying the instructional design (ID) framework to facilitate the development of disaster education teaching materials tailored to regional characteristics. First, a teaching material creation support model based on ID theory was proposed, demonstrating the model’s potential for standardizing the development of disaster education teaching materials and its applicability in practice. Second, a prototype system was developed to create lesson plans aligned with actual regional conditions by identifying regional characteristics and referencing past cases. Third, through presentation to schoolteachers and empirical evaluation, the usefulness of the search function and of the linkage between cases and lesson plans was confirmed, highlighting the effectiveness of sharing disaster education knowledge and supporting instruction. Future challenges include strengthening quality assurance for teaching materials, expanding reference cases through comprehensive data integration, and designing flexibility to preserve teachers’ discretion.
