Using comics in teaching mathematics to improve junior high school students' disaster awareness.

This study showed that using mathematics comics in different schools with varying conditions resulted in the different levels of disaster awareness-raising. Students' disaster awareness in the urban experimental class was better on three of the four indicators, namely, pre-disaster awareness, false disaster awareness, and after disaster awareness, compared to the control class. Meanwhile, the rural experimental class did better on one of the four indicators, namely, disaster education awareness, than the control class. This study implies that comics can increase disaster awareness and the need for further research.
