Abstract: We developed and evaluated a mobile system called ‘Pocket Plant Guide’ for support the observation and identification of indicator plants for vegetation succession. One characteristic of the ‘Pocket Plant Guide’ is that it uses sketches instead of photographs. This guide contains 3 representative functions that help students in identifying and observing of indicator plants. These functions include (1) coloured representations of leaves and fruits; (2) enlarged images of leaves and fruits; and (3) sketches of the backside of the leaves. We allowed Japanese sixth grade elementary school students (age 11–12 years) to use the ‘Pocket Plant Guide’ to identify and observe indicator plants. After this activity, we used a questionnaire to evaluate the ease with which the students used the guide, and validated the usefulness of the guide for identifying and observing indictor plants. The results indicated that the ‘Pocket Plant Guide’ was quite easy to use and was effective in supporting the identification and observation of indicator plants. (More)
