Abstract

As an effective teaching material aimed at improving technological literacy by attracting the interest of students in the technological education curriculum in a Japanese Junior High School, teaching material using thin wood bending was the focus of this research. The integrated teaching material using thin wood bending was developed and introduced into the Junior High school in order to improve student’s technological literacy. For further application as teaching material, bending mechanisms and optimum bending conditions were verified by experimental investigation based on theoretical considerations. The results of a questionnaire survey during teaching practice in Junior High School found that it showed high effectiveness and potentiality as a teaching material. Furthermore, the bending mechanism of the thin plate by mechanical analysis was verified by evaluating the change of tensile and compression properties with a relatively higher temperature (near to the boiling point of water) under higher MC (Moisture Content) conditions over FSP (Fiber Saturated Point). Therefore, it could be numerically predicted on the optimum bending curvature for thickness of plate, for improving the original design with theoretical understanding of student on the thin wood bending material.

Keywords: thin wood bending, integrated teaching material, technological literacy, tensile and compression properties
