Abstract
What is the best way to feel the spirit of the location? In Japan, the students of the elementary school and the secondary school have the school trips for several days with classmates. The purpose of those trips is to visit historical areas in Japan or foreign countries to encourage the students to learn about history, culture and nature in a proactive way. However, it is not easy for them to recognize and understand valuable points such as the artistic points and historical points even if they look at the objects or scenery. To solve this problem, we have developed a new learning model for outdoor studies using mobile phone applying Zeigarnik effect that explains human beings takes much interest in uncompleted or interrupted tasks. In this paper, we explain our study model for outdoor study and evaluate the usefulness of our tool though trials.
