Outline of Final Research Achievements

Three cities in Osaka Prefecture were selected for each disaster that was predicted to occur, and digital content, including regional information on natural disasters, was created for each city.　Using the GIS and the map, the lesson plan on disaster prevention education which made the regional information of each city as teaching material was made, and the class was carried out in "science" of junior high school.　The purpose of class was "to know characteristics such as topography of the living area " and "to understand the assumed disaster",etc. These were confirmed as a problem from the preliminary questionnaire to junior high school students.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

自然災害が多発する日本で、中学生を対象に理科の教科教育の中で防災教育の授業実践を試みた。この実践において地域データの活用とGISや地図の活用が、生徒の自然災害や防災に対する意識を高めることが明瞭に裏付けられた。2021年度に改訂・実施される中学校学習指導要領では，中学校３年「理科」の「自然と人間」で、「地域の自然災害」を扱う活動を行うことになっているが、今回の地域情報を活用した授業実践はその先例として示すことができたものと考える。
