[HDS07-05] Organizing and Verifying Elements and Knowledge Systems that can be Utilized for Damage Reduction in Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption Disasters - Learning Basic Knowledge of Earthquakes
Keywords:Instructional design, Training program, Earthquake disaster, Volcanic eruption disaster
Public awareness is the foundation for reducing the damage caused by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. However, this awareness must be based on scientific evidence. This research aims to identify knowledge elements that contribute to disaster mitigation by developing training programs for public awareness, and then testing and verifying these programs.
First of all, the reason why I strongly felt the need for such a study would be shared: in October 2016, six months after the Kumamoto earthquake, when the survey was conducted about the existence of active faults in a survey, 70% of the respondents were unaware that there were active faults in their region. While that is quite shocking, what was more shocking was that of the 30% of those who knew of the existence of active faults, more than half of them were aware that earthquakes do not occur. In a survey of tourists who visited Mt. Aso, it was found that 70% knew that Mt. Aso was an active volcano, while 30% were not aware of it. The lack of knowledge about earthquakes eliminated the resilience of society. It triggered a strong awareness of the need to build a basic knowledge frame for people on tectonic hazards and to stimulate interest in research on earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Until FY2020, the target audience of the training program to be developed was identified as administrative officials involved in disaster management, and a prototype of the training program was developed by identifying what earthquake and volcano researchers want people to understand and what administrative officials want to understand.
We found that the content of the training program, which consisted of 1) clearly stated learning objectives, 2) training content for administrative staff, and 3) a confirmation test, could be implemented in about 15 minutes to motivate and increase the efficiency of learning.
In FY2021, 10 training scenarios of the earthquake were completed. We conducted an evaluation and validation at the university where many students aspire to become administrative staff. The students were asked to complete a questionnaire before and after viewing the video content. Students were asked to rate each learning objective on a 5-point scale from "cannot explain" to "can explain. Statistically significant differences were found in all responses, indicating that understanding was promoted. On the other hand, there were some contents that varied in effectiveness, and further verification is needed.
The creation of video content is also an opportunity for risk communication between science and social science researchers. After planning and requesting content creation from scientific researchers in Steps 1 and 2, the stage of elevating the content from a slide plan to a training scenario plan is very important.
We found that the challenges in video content creation management are to increase the time efficiency of content creation researchers and to train communicators between scientific research and society to ensure that the content is accurate.
In FY2022, we are working on the creation of a training program for volcano eruptions. 7 training programs are scheduled to be completed and their effectiveness will be verified. in FY2023, we plan to standardize the training program and expand the program.
