An attempt at integrated study on fostering creativity based on international cooperative distance learning between Japan and Thailand

"Let's Research Environment Destruction" on integrated study science, mathematics and Englis

Abstract

In this article, we report on a comprehensive learning carried out as an international cooperative distance learning (abbr. ICDL) between Japan and Thailand using a teleconference system. Junior high school students of both countries studied on the environmental destruction, and they interchanged their results via the ICDL. Environmental problems are just the suitable teaching material for the students to try to solve by themselves. Both watching and presenting the results of their studies had their own factors of creativity, which were to be fostered through this project. In our ICDL, students could experience these two sides of activities.
