Abstract
We designed a group work (GW) for university students based on the KJ-method as a frame game. The goal of the GW is to create the concept of the “ideal rural area” collaboratively. To evaluate the impact of this, we send out the questionnaires using both the Likert and the SD scales before and after the GW and compared these results. The results of the Likert questionnaire suggest that students’ interests in rural areas and so on had been increased. The result of the SD questionnaire shows that students’ impressions of both “agriculture” and “rural area” changed and became similar after the GW. On the other hand, there were little correlations between the changes of interests and impressions. These tentative results suggest that students had rethought the relation between rural areas and agriculture through creating the concept. In addition, the changes in participants’ attitudes that cannot be grasped by only the Likert questionnaire might have occurred.
