Research Abstract |
We developed learning materials for students to acquire skills of captive animal management, study programs, and the school curriculum utilizing school animals. There were plenty types of learning effects in domestic animals and their application to education, and students developed their positive attitude by communicating with those animals. It was difficult for students who study particular subject to keep animals everyday, so it was thought to be better that students keep animals as voluntary activities in a club. Keeping animals is a fruitful educational activities, though tentative event using animals, never was more than a chance to be interested in learning more.
