Description

<p>An orogenic movement model was developed as a teaching material according to the local education condition to promote disaster prevention education in Nepal, where a huge earthquake occurred in April 2015. In order to evaluate the educational efficacy of the lesson, three trial lessons were carried out for junior high students, high school students, and university students. A worksheet for all students, and a questionnaire after several weeks for only the high school students, were used as methods of evaluation. Previously, most of the Nepalese students did not know the formation mechanism of the Himalayan Mountains and the movement of the Indian continent. Many ammonite fossils collected on Mount Everest, Nepal were sold as souvenirs downtown, but most students had never seen them. Many students had good impressions about the activity, which included an experiment and pictures. The orogenic movement model and the lesson style encouraged students’ understanding of the Himalayan range formation and elevated the students’ interest of the Himalaya Mountains and Mount Everest. </p>
