Description

This study aimed to develop and validate a model teaching materials for awe in moral education instructional theory. Using the picture book "Watashi no Imouto" as the subject matter, we tested whether the subject matter evokes a sense of awe. Specifically, the same material was facilitated in two classes, and a questionnaire measuring the arousal of awe (SAS: Sawada et al., 2022) was used as an indicator of evoked sense of awe. A preliminary study of the ease of feeling awe in the two classes of university students in the teaching program revealed a difference in mean values between the two classes. To control for respondents' background information, we adjusted the sample using inverse probability weighted estimation (IPW), a statistical covariate adjustment method using propensity scores. The results of the study showed that there were no differences in the means of three of the four factors of the SAS between the two classes. This suggests that the developed teaching materials can evoke the same level of awe even when administered by different teachers.
