Target |
Junior high school level students with hearing impairments (can also be used with elementary school level children) |
---|---|
Disability category | deaf and hard of hearing |
Teaching units / Applicable scenes | technical arts and home economics |
Specific purposes |
1. To utilize tablet PC-based recipe cards and cooking videos as an aid in equipping children with the knowledge and skills to independently undertake cooking alone or in a group. 2. With the aim of fostering practical life skills, have children utilize their learned, practical cooking knowledge to come up with their own, original recipe cards. |
Considerations for disability characteristics | Recipe cards and videos demonstrating cooking methods can be displayed as an e-book on a tablet PC and on a digital blackboard. These materials are designed to help students independently select and reference necessary information for hands-on cooking, providing them with visual clues that help facilitate knowledge and skill acquisition. |
Expected effects and results |
・Enables greater cooperative learning. (confirmation of procedures, discussion about division of labor, soliciting advice from teachers and peers, looking for ways to make improvements, etc.) ・Enables organization of thought process to go along with recipe cards and videos. (summarizing hands-on cooking tasks, creation of original recipe cards, etc.) ・Allows children to contribute to cooking at home via their original recipe cards, thereby fostering greater self-confidence. |
How to use |
◯Teaching Material Creation-related Considerations ・Take video and still pictures in the environment students will use for cooking (cooking preparations, cooking equipment, etc.). ・Put text on recipe cards and subtitles on videos. ◯Usage During the cooking task, assign one student to one tablet PC to reference the recipe and to make recordings. ・After the cooking task, use the worksheet and recording to review what was learned and then apply this to creating an original recipe card. ・Print out recipe cards so that they can be used in a variety of settings. (school events, cooking at home, recipe card distribution, etc.) |
