Abstract

<p>Inquiry-based learning about earthquakes and natural disasters often entails fieldwork. However, creating a learning environment utilizing ICT is also desired to enable such education in remote learning contexts. In this paper, we report on the development and implementation of an inquiry-based learning program about the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami for middle school students by integrating an VR as a fieldwork. The survey shows that the developed program significantly increases students’ interest and understanding of the earthquake disaster. In addition, it is confirmed that students acquired generic skills required for inquiry-based learning. Although there is some challenge with learning using VR movies such as the limitations of the information provided and low usability, it is still effective in terms of realizing the height of buildings in a disaster-stricken area or creating immersive experiences. It also has the potential to contribute to the understanding of Inquiry-based learning regarding earthquakes and natural disasters.</p>
