[G04-07] Practical Report on the Use of Izu Oshima Geopark in School Education and Pamphlet Creation and Reporting
Keywords:Izu Oshima Geopark, fieldwork, Pamphlet, outreach
Izu Oshima Geopark can be visited from central Tokyo in about two hours by high-speed boat. Furthermore, if a bus or cab is arranged, it is possible to reach the caldera at the top of the mountain in about three hours after boarding the ship. Because of this favorable location, it is also a useful educational tool for school education. In this study, we created a cross-disciplinary program for geography and geoscience education in upper secondary schools using the Izu Oshima Geopark. The target of the program was male high school students in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and a two-day and one-night cross-disciplinary program for geography and geoscience education was implemented.
In addition, students prepared pamphlets for each theme and provided field explanations so that the participating students could conduct fieldwork on their own initiative. Furthermore, the participating students held a debriefing session at the school and conducted outreach activities about the Izu Oshima Geopark to students who did not participate in the program. Therefore, in this practice, we also examined the impact of the pamphlet preparation by the students on the fieldwork and the impact of the outreach activities by the students on the audience.
We would like to thank Ms. Rika Usui of Izu Oshima Geopark and Dr. Masami Hasegawa, Professor Emeritus of Toho University, for their great cooperation in implementing the cross-sectional program on geography and geoscience education. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them.
