Sensibility of 3rd Graders for “House” by Difference of Modeling Way

Abstract

This paper aims to consider the influence of technique for the children's sensibility by comparison and analysis models made by different constructional way; "tying" and "jointing". As the method, we held a workshop of modeling a "secure house" at 1/20 scale with the third graders of primary school, and they made models with "tying" and "jointing" respectively. After the workshop, the children drew their models with explanations. As the analysis, we morphologically analyzed the models by the floor levels and the structure types, and semantically words with KJ method. As a result, in "tying", as more primitive construction technique, its most important facility was a bed to sleep. On the other hand, in "jointing", as more sophisticated technique, their adventurous sense has increased. That is, the difference of constructive technique evokes the sensual duality of security and adventure.
