Abstract

In this study, we conducted a structured interview with a teacher who supported elementary school students utilizing 1:1 information devices for the first time and evaluated the re-sponses to analyzed changes in the teacher’s awareness. Before the 1:1 information devices were used, the teacher was concerned about how to utilize them and the students’ unfamili-arity. In particular, the teacher did not expect to teach the students until after completely mastering their use herself. However, the teacher and students increased their familiarity with the 1:1 information devices in class, and as the students taught each other, they were even-tually able to utilize them. The teacher’s mindset had changed, and she tried to have the students teach her. Even with the 1:1 information devices, however, there were some aspects of the teacher’s awareness of classroom management and learning guidance that did not change.
