Research Abstract |
This research had been conducted four years during 1999-2002, focused on achievement test in science and mathematics for the third grade of upper secondary schools and survey on curriculum of upper secondary schools. The results were concluded in seven interim-reports in each year and five final-reports in the end of the fourth year. Summary of research results during these four years are as follows. Survey on curriculum of mathematics and science in upper secondary Schools were conducted in February 2000 to send questionnaires by mail to all upper secondary schools in Japan. Of all, about 80 % of schools responded, namely, 5003 upper secondary schools and 6631 courses. The following facts were found. Among their courses, Math III was set in 51% and Physics II in 41%. Among the third grade students, 26% of the students took Math III and 17% of the students took Physics II. Achievement test in science and mathematics for the third grade of upper secondary schools were conducted during Nov

ember to December 2000 for 4205 students in 85 whole-day courses that were selected from all whole-day course in Japan by the two steps stratified random sampling. The following facts were found. Comparing the results with the results of the same type of survey conducted about 20 years ago, there was not so much achievement difference in students of mathematics and science courses between the two results. Survey on opinions on the future model for mathematics and science education of upper secondary school by knowledgeable people in Japan was conducted in October 2002. Ninety people responded to write their opinions. Mathematics education of other countries was surveyed and analyzed durinlg 2000-2002. Among the results, advancing projects and the dissemination method in US, realistic mathematics in the Netherlands, national tests in UK and upper secondary mathematics education for liberal arts in Switzerland were found as main features. Lesson research (Jugyo-kenkyu) had conducted during 2001-2002 to find direction of improvement of mathematics classroom teaching and to clarify model of lesson research for the methodology. The following points were recognized as crucial in lesson research ; setting and conducting plan for lesson research, research meeting after experimental lesson and making reports for the lesson research. After these research and survey, future models for science and mathematics education were proposed. Less
