Evaluation Support Mechanism of Wooden Works for Practice Learning Management System of Technology Education

Generally, Japanese junior high school employs only one teacher for technology education. Hence, technology education teachers are facing a massive work burden in their works. Not only educating students about the technologies, but they also need to train the actual skills, e.g. wood processing. However, the assigned time for technology education is limited, and it makes it difficult to teach the necessary skills. To resolve the problems causing the work burden, we have developed the Practice Learning Management Systems (PLMS) for the teachers and students. In order to reduce the burden of technology education teacher, this paper proposes an evaluation support mechanism of wooden works for the PLMS. We have developed the mechanism and evaluated it in an actual educational site. As the result, we have confirmed the effect of reducing the work burden of the technology education teachers.
