Description

The authors have developed a digital picture book as teaching material which can be applied in a Home Economics guidance class in elementary school, within the government guidelines for teaching, and tested under real-class conditions. In the guidance class, “to know the 2-years learning contents” is one of its aims. So the authors digitized the picture book to make teaching more effective by conveying images, by attaching both dynamic and static pictures to present concrete learning contents. 32 elementary schools cooperated with testing the teaching material which was modified after the initial prototype evaluation, and teachers and students were asked of their opinion. Over 90 percent of the teachers said “the material made it easier to explain”, “it was easy to operate”, suggesting it is suitable as teaching material. Students also became more interested in Home Economics. Before, students’ perception of the subject was that of “food” and “clothing”, but after the experimental class their image of the subject had broadened. This means the teaching material made it possible to promote the understanding of content, as well as validating the effectiveness of the teaching material.
