Abstract
The challenges of teaching cultural issues about East Asian countries include 1) lack of visually enriched materials available, and 2) lack of sufficient knowledge by the teachers. Given the current trend towards a global economy, there is an increasing need to understand cultures and histories of countries in the Far East. The goal of this project is to explore the learning benefits of a newly created inquiry-based Web module to enhance the awareness of middle school students about Japanese culture. In this presentation, we will share our experience in field-testing this Web program in 6th grade classrooms, and discusses what works and what needs to be improved.
