The Potential for Cultivating Qualities and Abilities through APTN (Arts and Crafts Portfolio Tablet Notebook)

Tatsuji　Hatano

The Arts and Crafts Portfolio Tablet Notebook (ATPN) is involved in the development of the following children's qualities and abilities in the arts and crafts: “knowledge and skills
” “thinking
 judgment
 and expression
” and “the ability to learn.” The function of the ATPN was analyzed by  text-mining the free-response statements of 182 students in the "Questionnaire on APTN
" which was conducted at the end of the school year for the past 3 years. The analysis of frequently appearing words and co-occurring phrases in the free descriptions revealed the following: APTN encourages children to devise their own ideas
 concepts
 and production methods
 and to create works of art with a clear vision. This has been shown to play a significant role in the development of “thinking
 judgment
 and expression
” and “the ability to learn
” respectively. In addition
 the study considered several future issues for the APTN. It became clear that it is necessary to shorten the time required to fill out the form
 and to create ways to set individual goals.
