Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I developed a curriculum aimed at improving elementary school children’s scientific argument skills and evaluated the effectiveness. The curriculum addressed the 5th-grade science unit on “Movement of pendulums” and “Dissolution of substances”. In both units, teaching strategies extracted from previous studies were incorporated into the unit’s preparatory phase and the unit’s implementation phase. To examine children’s scientific argument skills, I conducted two argument tasks concerning the unit content and previously learned content. In two argument tasks, it was seemed significance improvement for children’s scientific arguments that are comprised of claims, evidence, and reasoning. From these results, the curriculum in this study is effective in developing children’s scientific argument skills.
