Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A chemistry laboratory class at a high school was designed on the basis of continuous cooperation of a high school and a university. The undergraduate and graduate students of the university acted as a teaching assistant (TA) at experiments performed in the high-school class. The laboratory program contained experiments aiming at effective education not only for the high-school students but also for the TAs themselves. A questionnaire survey for both the high school students and TAs was carried out after the class to evaluate the effectiveness of the class on their skills, knowledge and understanding of chemistry, and other influence. The effectiveness of the cooperation class on the education for both high school and university students has been confirmed. In addition, the method has been effectively applied to scientific events for children, indicating the usefulness for community education.
