Motivation and Educational Effectiveness in Teaching Expert Development Project by an Educational Community

KOSEN, which emphasizes the acquisition of practical skills from the age of 15, is a good fit with the Cyber security body of knowledge. A cyber security education proj ect has occurred at KOSEN, and a project to develop cyber security teaching materials for further teacher training is also underway. In the course of examining the learning effectiveness in this project, we obtained the knowledge that a certain amount of motivation is a critical point to improve the learning effectiveness when using our teaching materials, when cyber security education is viewed from the perspective of gamification. In this study, to make this finding even more effective, we attempted to confirm whether or not Game Based Learning (GBL) enhances motivation and improves learning effectiveness, both in our teaching materials and in teaching materials developed by others, and to gain a foothold for examining the details of the effectiveness of GBL. The validation results show that prior learning in our materials, whether developed by us or not, works effectively in subsequent learning with materials, increasing motivation and positively correlating learning effects with motivation. As a next step, we will obtain further directions for future educational development by further examining which elements contributed to motivation and which were influenced by motivation.
