Abstract
In this research, we focused on the importance of communication from a primary learning group (Leader) to a secondary learning group (Follower) and propose a new learning environment that enables learners to communicate with voice information. It is expected that this attempt would be effective in Learning By Teaching for leaders, and in Learning By Observing for followers. First, school students learnt about animals in a workshop at a zoo, and then finalized contents of learning as voice guidance. Second, the followers roamed through the zoo by using the voice guidance as educational materials. We carried out a questionnaire survey to evaluate how the voice guidance helped the learning process of the two learning groups. The result of a chi-square test showed that leaders were "intrigued with the animals", whereas followers "were intrigued by the animals" and "understood how animals live".
