Research and proposal on social skills training materials for school for diverse learning

Abstract

The lead author, through school support activities, studied two SST lessons in the special support classroom at Takaosan Gakuen, a school focused on diverse learning. In these lessons, a dessert-themed card game was used to encourage self-expression and understanding of others. To further engage students, a new SST tool called "Let's Make a Sundae!" was proposed. This tool, 3D printed with PLA and PETG filament, consists of a sundae glass and ice cream, designed to improve visual recognition, hand-eye coordination, and peer evaluation skills. Students can freely color and decorate the pieces, enhancing creativity and interaction. The aim is to promote both individual and group learning in a fun way.
