We have produced the Educational Cards 'Karuta' for the cultivation of gender sensitive views in the teacher training course. This teaching material aims to cultivate the idea of the equal rights for men and women in the school education. We used these cards in a girls' junior high school to examine the possibility of their use as a teaching material. As a result, a definite effect has been verified as follows; 1. The use of these cards serves as the review of the lesson, facilitates the gender sensitive view of the students, encourages them to look back and recognize their own biases, induces questions, and proposes an opportunity of resetting of their own gendered views by exchanging opinions among themselves. 2. Students came to recognize the effects of educational cards which functioned as a bridge for a further study and conduct.
