| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As the scientific thinking skills of the adult such as teachers is weak, I made an investigation into scientific thinking skills of students using ‘convection’ related to the daily life and the surface of the sun. The targets of investigation are students of four universities in Kansai and Kanto areas. I found that many students do not understand contents of science in primary and junior high schools. This result indicates that they need to understand basic contents of science to train scientific thinking skills. Moreover, I found indices to estimate understanding level of students from their explanation about ‘convection’. And then I developed a cross-unit science teaching material adding examples of explanation according to students’ thinking levels and advice of each level.
