Comprehensive Study to Create a New Game through the Boundball Game and Following the Dodgeball

Adaptability of the Program from the Viewpoint of a Deepening of Understanding

Abstract

(1) The program, which was developed on the basis of the theme, “Creating a new game through bound ball and dodge ball games, ” was found to meet the curiosity and the interest of children and to deepen their understanding.
(2) From test results of the program, the design principle of the programming for the comprehensive study that we propose was found to be valid. Furthermore, it was suggested that experience- sharing in the problem-formation process effectively functioned in “turning others's experience into one's ownself-experience” at the stage of empathy/exchange of problem-solving outcomes and played an important role in deepening understanding.
