地震防災教育プログラム（英語版）

Earthquake evacuation drills are conducted annually in schools across the country. However, are these drills merely initiated by teachers' instructions such as, “Get under your desk”? This educational program was developed to promote disaster preparedness by cultivating students’ capacity to make independent and proactive decisions in response to sudden, large-scale earthquakes.

概要

This program is a disaster education curriculum composed of three steps: (1) Pre-learning to acquire accurate knowledge about Earthquake Early Warnings (EEWs), (2) Response Action Training to develop the ability to take appropriate and self-directed action after receiving an EEW, and (3) Post-learning (Reflection) to assess the extent to which the learning objectives have been achieved. The program was developed and refined based on actual classroom implementation by many teachers, with continuous improvement through evaluation of learning outcomes. To ensure adaptability for individual schools, all teaching materials are provided in editable file formats that allow modification and duplication.

Unit Structure

● Step 1: Pre-learning
Learning Objectives:
1.Understand the basic concepts of Earthquake Early Warning (EEW).
2.Learn how objects move during an earthquake and consider how to respond when hearing an EEW.
3.Learn the rules for moving to a safe location (evacuation).

● Step 2: Response Action Training
Learning Objective:
1.Apply knowledge from the pre-learning step and acquire the ability to take appropriate, self-directed protective actions upon receiving an EEW.

● Step 3: Post-learning (Reflection)
Learning Objectives:
1.Reflect on one’s own behavior and actions during the response drill.
2.Reaffirm appropriate actions to take when hearing an EEW.
3.Understand the importance of protecting oneself during an earthquake.

Step 1: Pre-learning

Learning the right way to respond to an Earthquake Early Warning

Learning Objectives:
1.Understand the basic concepts of Earthquake Early Warning (EEW).
2.Learn how objects move during an earthquake and consider how to respond when hearing an EEW.
3.Learn the rules for moving to a safe location (evacuation).

Step 2: Response Action Training

Drill Based on Earthquake Early Warning (EEW)

Learning Objective:
1.Apply knowledge from the pre-learning step and acquire the ability to take appropriate, self-directed protective actions upon receiving an EEW.

Drill Programs
Step 2 – Drill Program (45 minutes):
A standard drill covering the full process: protective actions, evacuation procedures, and post-drill feedback.
Step 2 – Short Unannounced Drill (5 minutes):
A surprise drill focusing solely on immediate protective actions, without prior time announcement.

Drill Procedure (Example: Short Drill Conducted During Recess)
A chime is broadcast over the school PA system.
1.Students take protective action on their own judgment, wherever they are.
2.An earthquake sound effect is played.
3.Teachers confirm evacuation routes and procedures.
4.An announcement signals the end of the drill.
5.Students return to their classrooms and engage in reflection activities (Step 3).

Note:
During the drill, teachers should not give direct instructions such as “Get under your desk,” in order to encourage students to act based on their own judgment.
(Exceptions may be made for students who require support.)

Step 3: Post-learning (Reflection)

Reflecting on Our Response to the Earthquake Early Warning

Learning Objectives:
1.Reflect on one’s own behavior and actions during the response drill.
2.Reaffirm appropriate actions to take when hearing an EEW.
3.Understand the importance of protecting oneself during an earthquake.
