Creating and analyzing the effectiveness of game-based disaster preparedness educational materials to improve the disaster response skills of people with intellectual disabilities

Focusing on the behavioral characteristics and level of understanding

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop disaster preparedness educational materials for people with intellectual disabilities and to clarify their usefulness and challenges. We also conduct an analysis based on their level of understanding and behavioral characteristics. We found that we need to communicate with them sufficiently while they are learning. We thought that if we spend time talking with them, their learning effect will improve. We also found that they have the potential to deepen their understanding by learning repeatedly. Their level of understanding increased as the level of their disabilities became milder. They also showed behavioral characteristics that hindered their concentration while learning, so it is necessary to create a learning environment.
