Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I developed a program aimed at improving elementary school teacher’s scientific argument skills and evaluated the effectiveness. From the result of my investigation to in-service teachers, I guess that in-service teachers’ argument skills were deemed insufficient. Then I developed a training program for elementary school teachers that will improve these skills. I integrated 12 pedagogical strategies that Yamamoto et al. (2013) administered for elementary children into the program. We applied these strategies to in-service elementary school teachers. As a result, within the construction and evaluation of arguments, significant improvement could be seen. Moreover, teachers gave high marks to the program’s development of their understanding of arguments, as well as the experiential exercises. Therefore, we can conclude that this program is effective for elementary school teachers to improve their own argument construction and evaluation skills.
