Development of Interactive Educational Program about Human Error

JR East has developed educational programs covering human errors for railway personnel. To help learners understand that anyone can make an error, each program includes a serious game to give them a chance to experience their own errors. This paper focuses on the elaboration of these serious games. The authors examined impacts of factors related to the setting of the games in order to make certain that learners make errors in the game. The results showed that the error rate is considerably high in the serious games of the program for learning mistakes. As for the other programs, indications show that development of programs based on the findings in the experiments will promote participants’ comprehension about human errors and their motivation to prevent these errors.
