Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a fieldwork support system that enables easy sharing of information such as images and texts on a website by sending pictures taken with mobile phones as e-mail attachments, when incorporated into a yearly curriculum of the "Life Environment Study" subject for the second grade of an elementary school. The study also analyzed whether or not the system supported information sharing among students. As a result, it was discovered that information individually collected in dispersed circumstances in terms of time and space was successfully shared among students. Also, it was revealed that such shared information effectively supported students' learning activities.
