[MIS08-P03] Izu Oshima Geopark in School Education
Keywords:Izu Oshima Geopark, Educational Use, High School, 3DCG
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 program for teaching geology and geography in high schools using the Izu Oshima Geopark. The target of the program was male high school students in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the geology and geography education program was implemented for two days and one night.
Previous studies have indicated the importance of prior learning in outdoor learning. Therefore, in this practice, 3DCG was used to reproduce local geological events and to conduct preliminary learning. We also decided to verify the impact of the preliminary study on the field observation in Izu Oshima Geopark.
Part of this study was supported by the Chuden Education Promotion Foundation.
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 the implementation of the geoscience and geography education program. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them.
