Description

One of the goals of disaster prevention education noticed by the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Culture, Japan, is to gain an understanding about causalities of natural disasters. The author thinks that learning views of primary causes and triggers of a natural disaster is an important goal of science education. For examination of inducing such a goal in science class, a description analysis was carried out by way of reading out causalities of natural disasters from the science education part in “the Course of Study” and its guidelines. The author also shows analyzing results of description in academic books on natural disasters for the purpose of preparation of the class. The author found that there is no description on first causes and triggers except tsunamis and floods in government documents related to science education curriculum for the lower secondary school students. Also he points out that primary causes and triggers of a disaster in academic books are described in sediment disasters field but not in volcanic and weather disaster fields. Finally, the author insists that administrators in education should make high consistency between science and disaster prevention education curriculum and specialists should promote teachers’ knowledge about causes of natural disaster by way of publishing.
