Study of a Support System to Develop Teaching Materials in Technology Education Training

Abstract

Faculty to develop teaching materials is expected for teachers to respond to the needs for technology education which changes in times. However, they had few experiences to learn developing teaching materials in technology education training. In this study, we propose a PBL education program to develop new teaching materials for technology education students using brainstorming with KJ method, mind mapping and PDCA cycle. We have put our program into practice in the metal working class of graduate school, and examine the effectiveness of this program by the qualitative analysis of students’ descriptions.
