Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed at developing a methodology to make “science class” in which students obtain their ability of meta-cognition. Then we assessed, recorded and evaluated the performance for the students to obtain this ability. So far, we had used a learning achievement for students as an evaluation of performance assessed by teachers. Another possibility of the evaluation method was discussed. That is to examine details of “the changes in thoughts’ on contents and context of science class. We tried to apply this method and investigate the appropriateness of it. Moreover, we proposed two hypotheses as successful contents of this evaluation method; making sure that there are multiple opportunities for students to express conjecture of the results of an experiment to answer a science question during a science class. Results of this study could imply that the two hypotheses were true for students to cultivate meta-cognition in the science classroom.
