Abstract

Drawings have been used as a method for probing children's ideas about events. It has been suggested that using drawings in a class is effective, but their significance for children has not been examined concretely. In this study we conducted classes on "The function of electricity and light" in an elementary school. We assessed the usefulness of drawings. In this case, the results were as follows : (1) Many children like to draw. (2) Activities with drawings were more effective than verbal explanations by the teacher. (3) Drawings used in predicting a situation were more effective for children than those used in interpreting a situation.
