Development of a Simulation Learning Material Package and its Class Practice for Online Shopping

Abstract

Nowadays, most teenagers use the Internet, and many of them do online shopping and Internet banking. Based on such situations, the purpose of this research was to develop learning materials and a class lesson plan to teach how to safely use online shopping. We clarified key points for effective use of online shopping, and created a class plan, worksheets and online simulation learning materials for senior high school home economics classes. Six 2nd year senior high school classes were involved in this research. It was demonstrated that the class plan, worksheets and online simulation learning materials were feasible for a one class-hour period, and improved the students’ knowledge of safe online shopping.
