Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Course of studies of Japanese, Math, Science, Social Studies, Living Environmental Studies and Integrated Studies were analyzed to find out "thinking verbs" required to accomplish learning activities. Finally 19 thinking verbs were extracted as thinking skills. These thinking skills appear in turn in each grade and sometimes multiple skills are related to the same learning activities. At the same time, some skills are logically more complex than others. The thinking skills were structured into a relation-map based on those relationships. On the other hand, a learning program was developed to train just important thinking skills. This program is focusing to the procedure of each skill and show learners the procedure using thinking tools. That program was implemented and examined in Kansai University Elementary School.
