DRR Delivery Lessons Not Only for Children but Also Teachers: a Motivational Typology of Schools in DRR Education and Beyond

EasyChair Preprint 8964, version 1

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a motivational typology of DRR Education in schools from the experience of delivering YUI Project’s lessons to elementary schools in Japan since the Great East Japan Earthquake (March 11th, 2011), and to explore how the delivery class instructors communicate with schools (schoolteachers) with different motivations. Upon asking schoolteachers about the children and the school in preparation for the delivery of lessons, it has become clear that these prior tasks are not just for children, but also for schoolteachers. In this DRR counseling, how to communicate with the school will be changed by the motivations of the school. Three types of schools were considered (Progressive School, Ask-for-help School, and Just-feeling-the-trend School). The Ask-for-help School, for example, is highly motivated but does not know how to provide regular disaster education. In this case, we could (and in fact have) provide advice and support on the design of school DRR education, with the understanding that the schoolteachers are the main players in the education of school DRR. In the case of the just-feeling-the-trend school, on the other hand, the motivation is not so high, and the method is not well understood (and in some cases there seems to be no question about how to develop school DRR education). In such cases, how to communicate with the school is still a major challenge. The challenge we have is how to approach schools that are not motivated or have low motivation, such as the just-feeling-the-trend school, and to develop a relationship with them encouraging school disaster education in the future.
