| Research Abstract |
The findings of this work can be represented as follows :
Part 1 Research into the Development of a Primary School Science Curriculum Emphasizing the Promotion of Scientific Literacy. Focus on Use and Application in Daily Life. Working from the standpoint of "the ability to use and apply scientific literacy in daily life, "we reviewed the current primary school science curriculum, developed modular teaching materials to reinforce that curriculum, and studied the potential for actual implementation of this system through use in actual classroom situations. Our objective was to promote scientific literacy with an emphasis on practical education.
Part 2 Teaching Emphasizing the Promotion of Scientific Literacy. We incorporated conceptual mapping and rendering techniques as "tools for intelligent expression, "invoked the principle of "recognized apprenticeship"in the science classroom, practiced a course of study for the promotion of scientific literacy, and investigated the effectiveness thereof. Our objective was to enable students to master the universal knowledge and abilities that would help them solve the problems they face in their lives outside school and also in their future lives. Here we tried to promote scientific literacy with an emphasis on formative education.
