FLOOD DISASTER EDUCATION CONSIDERED PRACTICAL TEACHING METHOD

Abstract

 As some disasters over assuming level has are increasing, education on flood disaster is getting more necessary. However, development on the proper method isn’t enough and teachers pointed difficulty of the implementation derived from the contents and the present systems. To solve such issues, this study developed educational materials considered practical teaching methods. Through development of the materials based on opinions from teachers and practical implementation of lesson on flood disaster, we check possibility of improvement on not only contents, but also method. We reflected 8 important points based on pre-survey into the materials such as “Easy implementation and reduction of teaching load for teachers” and “Easy understanding and practical use for students.” Teachers in 4 model schools conducted flood disaster lessons with the materials. In results, the teachers considered such as educational guidance textbook or speech planning were assumed as better points for flood educational materials, and images or tools which students can understand unexperienced disasters easily, too. This research shows we need to develop educational materials and techniques which can support teachers’ lessons and students’ understanding to consider effective practical teaching method.
