| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aimed to develop science education materials to cultivate thinking from evolutionary perspectives in Japanese elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools. The researcher was able not only to reveal problems of evolution education in Japan (e.g., lacking of teaching materials about tree-thinking for junior high school science) through the analyses of textbooks and questionnaire surveys, but also to design effective teaching materials for solving these problems among students of each school level. Hopefully, this achievement will contribute to the improvement of evolution education in Japan, yet materials intended for elementary school and junior high school students are still lacking. Hence, further efforts to develop materials must be made to help those students gain a better and deeper perspective on evolution.
