Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to spread the effects of disaster prevention education widely from children to families, we established a form of delivering class that introduces the phenomenon of disaster from the viewpoint of natural disaster science from the conventional educational method and introduces it in the form of science delivery.
This delivering lesson consists of three parts. The first part is learning by lecture. The second part will let the group of several people experience the game thinking how to act on the scene at the time of the actual disaster. In the third section, the result of the game experienced was discussed within the group and the result of the summary was presented.
We surveyed by questionnaire before and after this program implementation and about one month later. From this result, children 's disaster prevention awareness improved, and the children discussed with their families in the family and found that many children carried out countermeasures against disasters.
