Undergraduates investigation on how to effectively use tablet terminals in science experiment classes and engineering education through such investigation

Abstract

The student project team “Rika-Kobo” tried to use tablet terminals during their science experiment classes to be performed for primary school children for the purpose of conducting their own investigations about how to improve usefulness of tablet terminals. Desirable effects were confirmed from the results of questionnaires, while some points were found to which attentions should be paid in order to obtain enhanced effects. This trial of investigations by undergraduate students served as an effective chance of engineering education for the student members. It was also served as a good OJT chance for those who wish to become a teacher.
