Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study proposes to examine the content of instruction in forestry education that addresses technology for nurturing living things, in the context of junior high school technology education. Specifically, the study considers instruction materials about afforestation technology in textbooks. They are also compared to materials presented in the textbook of forestry education at the high school level. A stepwise model of processes related to afforestation can be enumerated as follows: 1)the preparatory step, where the forest grows; and the stages of 2)producing; 3)raising; and 4)harvesting the forest. Also, junior high school forestry classes carried out forest measurements, thinning, three-dimensional forest stand structures, and local yield table simulations using personal computers. The computer simulation was observed to be capable of operation and useful for the understanding forest stand structures and the simulation of the local yield table.
