| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted a survey on space education in Japanese junior and senior high schools to grasp the current situation and issues that teachers face. One of the problems for teachers is that hands-on activities or experiments are difficult in the field of space education. In the case of junior high schools, the largest number of answers to the question asking about difficulty in teaching space-related topics were that large fraction of the students are not good at spatial thinking. We thought that the 3D virtual reality (VR) technology could give a solution to this problem and started an attempt to develop educational programs with a 3D-VR software.
