Considerations on how visualizing biological rhythm entrainment affects children´s listening attitude

Recently, “discussion” has been adopted in elementary school education. In this activity, the active participation of children is important. It is necessary to be conscious of the interaction with others for active participation in discussion. The goal of this study is to improve the attitude towards participation in discussion of children. The authors of this study will consider a method of making children conscious of their interaction with others by visualizing the entrainment of biological rhythm. A system based on the above-mentioned consideration was developed, and an experiment that uses this system was conducted. The results show that the system has a high potential of improving children´s attitude towards listening. Based on these results, developmental experiments were performed.
