Research Abstract	Education methods about building structures are not enough in respect of specialty and degree of comprehension etc. The target of the present study is to develop a new educational method for the students to master the specialty about building structures. Firstly, the authors investigated the previous research works on building structures education. Next, questionnaire for students of a junior college were carried out. Based on these results, the new educational method which combined small scale model tools and CAI system were proposed. The special feature in the small scale model tools is using mechanoluminescence material. These tools may be able to visualize distribution of stress. Then, the authors confirmed applicability of the mechanoluminescence material by compression experiments and bending experiments.
