Description

In recent years, the use of tablets has been recommended in biology education. The tablets, which can be used as a simple microscope by attaching an adapter, have been marketed and used for observation practice. However, student evaluation and educational effects of observation practice have not been reported yet. Therefore, this study aimed to obtain guidance for observation training utilizing a tablet microscope and carried out lessons and a questionnaire. In lessons, each student made a tablet microscope and observed prepared slides of organisms using it. The finding reveals that student evaluations for observation training tend to be higher when students share the results of observation with other students, compared with only observations by the tablet.
