| Research Abstract |
A full detailed report will be made on other booklet. The following is the outline of this research results.
The personal computer is ordinarily high in price. Therefore, the use of personal computer has not yet been made the practical situation of school education, especially science experimental education. On the other hand, the Nintendo-Computer, "Game-Computer" is compact, simple and easy-handling, and low in price. The game-computer is therefore, best in making use of assisting science experiments. In this research, it had been initially determined the game-computer to use for the science experiments, because it seemed this computer to be useful as a device for them.
Conclusively speaking, the interface (an A/D converter), the programs (BASIC and assembler languages) and various sensors could be developed for the Nintendo-Computer at low cost. We could use this for the experimentation in the science education of the lower and upper secondary schools, and also even if the college.
Now, we can report the results of these real applications for the science experimental education in lower secondary school. We would like to recommend you to read above booklet or our articles cited in 11. REFERENCES,(4)-(6).
