  1. a high school geography class example of ESDDam Development in Japan-A Case Study in the Ohigawa River- Fumio WADA (Hiroshima University/Fukuyama High School ) Masashi URABE (Tokuyama University)

  2. Aim of this presentation To confirm availabilities and discuss problems of geography as ESD by introducing a lesson plan of high school geography class of ESD

  3. Dam developmentis one ofworld water problemswhich composea main subject of ESD

  4. Aim of this lesson Students consider how dam development of developing countries for SD should be by investigation typical Japanese dam development case.

  5. Outline of this lesson Students • Investigate both advantages and disadvantages of dam development in the Ohigawa River. • Understand campaign of the inhabitants forthe river water’s revival. • Discuss propriety of dam development and decide for how developing countries' dam development should be for SD.

  6. Learning abilities of this lesson • Problem solving • Critical thinking • Decision making ↓ Essential learning abilitiesof ESD

  7. Problem solving ;learning ability of student organizing active thinking 4 levels of problem solving ability for SD ① correct understand and explanation② developing critical thinking③ doing rational decision making④ acting for sustainable developmentThis lesson is up to level ③, why not to level ④ ? Because opinions to dam development are different, student’s practice to it should be free.

  8. Where is the Ohigawa River ?

  9. Why the OhigawaRiver? Best location for hydroelectric generation • vast amount ofprecipitation --annual average 3,000 mm • steep mountains area • close to big cities and industrial areas

  10. Advantagesof the dam development : • electric power supply • Railroad and new roads • new schools • property tax • reform of communal facilities • dam lakes

  11. Disadvantagesof the dam development : • outflow of population • bad influences on agriculture • decrease of catch of fish and beach erosions around mouth of the river

  18. Aim of this presentation • By introducing a lesson plan of high school geography class of ESD to confirm availabilities and discuss problems of geography as ESD
