[O05-06] Earthquake and its disaster in science textbooks for lower secondary school published in 2021: Contents and problems
★Invited Papers
Keywords:lower secondary school, RIKA (science), earthquake, blessings of nature, earthquake disaster, natural disaster
Nemoto (2021) reports that the preliminary results of a textbook analysis of contents to earthquake and its disaster, focusing on terminology, using a total of five lower secondary school “RIKA” (science) textbooks based on the lower secondary school in the 2017 standard curricula. As a result, it is clarified that there is large difference among textbooks in the types and amounts of terms used in the content of earthquake disasters (see below simplified table). However, Nemoto (2021) did not report that the results of its analysis regarding the differences in the explanations of terms related to earthquake disaster. In this presentation, I will report on the current status and issues in the explanations of the earthquakes and its disaster in the textbooks, including the differences in the description of terms among textbooks.
Simplified table:
Relationship between terms related to the earthquake other than those listed in all textbooks (5 types) and the number of textbooks in which they were listed
(ref.: terms earthquake and related to the earthquake listed in 5 textbooks: earthquake, fault, hypocentre, epicentre, seismometer, preliminary tremors, duration of preliminary tremors, principal shock, P-wave, S-wave, seismic intensity, magnitude, trench, plate, tsunami, active fault, uplift, subsidence, earthquake early warning, liquefaction)
Appeared 4 textbooks: N/A
Appeared 3 textbooks: landslide
Appeared 2 textbooks: landslip, building collapse, hazard map, seismic reinforcement, earthquake warning, tsunami hazard map
Appeared 1 textbooks: soil avalanche, debris flow, crack in the ground, (geotechnical) ground, tsunami early warning, earthquake disaster, disaster prevention, lifeline, seismic hazard map, evacuation shelter, artificial earthquake, major tsunami warning, tsunami advisory
Appeared 0 textbooks but appeared in more than one in the former course textbooks: ground sinking, seismic isolation, seismic resistance, Disaster Prevention Day, earthquake evacuation drills, emergency evacuation shelter, emergency rations, emergency supplies, tsunami warning, economy class syndrome, E-defense, shaking table, ( earthquakes occurring directly beneath the large city area )
