Research Abstract

本研究は「理科教育改革」の指針として、理科の授業者がメタ言語に習熟することの重要性に光を当て、加えてメタ言語習熟のための戦略を具体的に提示した。この重要性と戦略は、"Any Language Can Be the Medium of Instruction of School Science, But…"と題して今夏SENSE Publisher より出版予定である(5.主な発表論文等〔図書〕の(1))。メタ言語とは言語について語る言葉であり、これは同時に世界観について語る言葉でもある。本研究の成果の中心は、メタ言語能力を教師が獲得することの重要性に光を当て、具体的に能力獲得の手順を示したところにある。
