Development of an SNS education game for higher-grade elementary school children
Pages 130 - 134
Abstract
Increasing numbers of older elementary school children are receiving smartphones from their parents and using social network service (SNS) applications. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japan (MEXT) has been promoting information morals education by issuing educational guidelines, because such morals (which include ethics, understanding and following the law, and information security knowledge and skills) are essential when using SNSs. However, schools are struggling to find sufficient time for information morals education, meaning the guidelines' goal for children "to be proactive, interactive, and learning deeply" is not currently being achieved. In this paper, we describe our plans for an SNS education game, which we propose to set as homework during the summer holidays in order to reduce the burden on teachers and achieve the Ministry's aims in practice. This game is designed to fulfill six requirements and takes into account pupils' characteristics, as well as the features and issues with existing educational games.
