Practical Guidebook for Elementary Engineering Management Education in Finishing Technology

The practice and evaluation of elementary management of technology (hereafter, MOT) education has previously been investigated. It is recognized that elementary MOT education using trading games (hereafter, TG) has great educational effects on the awareness of the importance of MOT skills. On the other hand, a large amount of preparation time and labor is required when elementary MOT education using TG is first introduced into elementary schools. Development of a practical guidebook for elementary engineering management (hereafter, EM) education would likely be a useful educational tool for elementary EM education, and may then be applied in many elementary schools. In this study, a guidebook for elementary EM education is proposed, and its educational effects are verified. The practical application of elementary EM education to the finishing technology will be completed in the future works.
