Abstract

In this study, we collected disaster prevention education materials from all over Japan focusing on "guidance plans," and created 2,217 data with variables such as target disaster, subject, school type and grade, and learning contents. The data showed that current disaster prevention education programs are developed mainly for elementary and junior high schools, and that there is a lack of programs for learning about meteorological disasters and for understanding the phenomena and mechanisms of disasters. In addition, cluster analysis using variable of correspondence to the Courses of Study showed that the disaster prevention education plans could be classified into three perspectives and eight clusters, providing suggestions for the systematization of disaster prevention education programs in the future.
