| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After WWⅡ, the science teaching materials Shogakusei no Kagaku and Kisokagaku Kyoikusosho, compiled under the guidance of the US Army of Occupation were designed to encourage liberal thinking and a problem-solving approach. How imported American science education was provided to post-war children was investigated through text and illustration analysis using digitalised data, interviewing people who were in education, media or cultural activities at that time and archive survey. The results indicate that it was tentatively presented in the form of a unique text-type which narrativised scientific laws and phenomena into literary storylines under the real-life condition. The use of this type of readings could be effective in not only providing knowledge but also nurturing generic skills including critical thinking abilities as children must interpret independently the stories to extract science. This might be one form of science literacy education which functions in the Japanese context.
