Description

With the rise in number of cases involving children becoming victims of cybercrimes, there is a corresponding need for information morals education to teach students "information ethics" and develop an "understanding of and adherence to the law." However, it is difficult for children to understand highly abstract concepts that have little to do with their daily lives, such as copyrights. This study analyzed efficient and effective methods for teaching such abstract concepts. Further, this study classified and defined teaching methods intended for information morals education into three types: 1) classes that focus on teaching aids, 2) experience-based classes, and 3) classes based on both teaching aids and experience. These three teaching methods were used with fifth and sixth graders at K Elementary School in Saitama Prefecture to compare the effect of each method. In the class that used "both," the children were able to understand and verbalize concepts using experience and teaching aids, thus providing an effective method for helping children understand abstract concepts. As compared to other teaching methods, there were indications that the method using both teaching aids and experience was effective in fostering a desire to participate in this information-oriented society.
