In a previous report, we developed a simulated POS (Point of sales) system teaching aid for “activities to solve issues in daily life and society through programing interactive contents using the network" in technology education of a Japanese middle school course of study in 2017 and confirmed its effectiveness. However, this previous aid has encountered problems such as the inability to program iterative processes and a low degree of freedom in programing. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop programing teaching aids that can help instruct about the mechanism and features of the interactive information systems with a chatbot as an example and build a chatbot system with a database as interactive contents using the network. When we asked technology education teachers to test the aids in teacher training, they confirmed that they generally corresponded to the course of study and were applicable to lessons.
