    In order to understand that water vapor, which causes heavy rainfall in Japan during the rainy season and summer, is transported to the vicinity of Japan by the general circulation of the atmosphere on a global scale, we developed and implemented an inquiry teaching material using WEB weather maps. In this practice, three types of WEB weather maps were utilized, and the core of the lesson was for individual students to explore the origin of water vapor in a composite manner based on the cloud, rain, and wind information that could be read from the maps. The results of this practice with third-year lower secondary school students demonstrated that, after the lesson, 71% of the students were able to find and express the possibility that water vapor was transported from at least as far away as the Pacific and Indian Oceans, based on their comprehensive consideration of several different sources of information about the origin of water vapor. Moreover, 77% of the students were able to consider multiple pieces of meteorological information in a composite manner, and this led them to consider the connection between meteorological conditions around Japan and the global atmospheric general circulation. In addition, 37% of the students showed an enhanced interest in weather through the use of the WEB weather maps, and 20% of the students felt that they would like to use the maps in the future. The usefulness of the teaching material using the Web weather maps developed for this study is therefore considered to be effectively demonstrated.

  • About university students' attitudes toward natural disasters by the subjects they studied in high school: Based on Textbook Analysis

    We reanalyzed the results of a questionnaire survey of 720 first-year college students at eight national,public, and private universities in Japan regarding their awareness of natural disasters. In terms of the relationship between `Geography A' and `Basic Earth Science' courses taken in high school and awareness of natural disasters, `Geography A' students were more aware of earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods than were those who chose `Basic Earth Science'. A comparison of the amount of text on natural disasters in textbooks showed that `Geography A' students were more aware of natural disasters than those who chose `Basic Earth Science'. The higher response of `Geography A' students to natural disasters is related to the amount of learning about natural disasters in high school.

  • About university students' awareness of natural disasters by prefecture of origin

    Research Journal of Disaster Education ( Japanese Society of Disaster Education )  2 ( 1 ) 69 - 77   2021.10  [Refereed]

    Research paper (journal)   Domestic Co-author

    We conducted a questionnaire survey to 1253 university students from eight national, public and private universities in Japan regarding their awareness of natural disasters. For comparison by area, these undergraduates are subdivided into five prefectures; that is Tokyo Metropolis, Osaka, Hyogo, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi prefectures. Using data on their responses in this survey, we compared and examined differences between the first-year students who did not study disaster prevention education at the universities from view of their place of origin. We found that students feel scared of earthquakes regardless of their place of origin. Also, we point out the proportion of the students who are highly aware of disaster prevention is around one quarter and there is no difference among the prefectures. Finally, the authors insist that a significant difference does not caused by only the student's experience of disaster, but also the result of their disaster prevention education in each prefecture.

  • Disaster-prevention education in relation to infrequent large-scale volcanic eruptions for Japanese high school students: Developing teaching materials about the widespread Holocene volcanic ash of the Kikai-Akahoya eruption

    Japan has 111 active volcanoes and is prone to volcanic disasters as well as earthquakes. However, education regarding volcanic disaster-prevention is not provided extensively at high schools. Therefore, the authors used the widespread volcanic ash that fell over a wide area of Honshu after the eruption of Kikai Caldera in Kagoshima Prefecture approximately 7,300 years ago, as teaching material for classes on volcanic disasterprevention.The class comprised 95 second-year students in the Basic Earth Science class at a high school in the central area of Hyogo Prefecture, which is located in an area without active volcanoes. The students observed some pyroclastic materials in the first class and observed Kikai-Akahoya volcanic ash in the second class. After these observations, the students in the second class inferred the kind of volcanic disaster. At the end of the first class, 72% of students acknowledged the necessity of knowing the location of volcanoes and of inferring triggers to prevent volcanic disasters. At the end of the second class, more students were aware of the disaster caused by Kikai-Akahoya volcanic ash, where the wind caused volcanic ash to fall over a wide area in the future. In conclusion, we found that some students became aware of the dangers of volcanic disasters caused by wind-driven volcanic ash flow from active volcanoes.
