Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop teaching modules to enhance learners' scientific sensibility and to make them easier to understand the significance of chemistry and chemistry, and to acquire highly problem-solving ability. The following findings have been obtained obtained by means of the various analyzes.
1. Researchers have constructed science-textbooks-database on the personal computer. Using it, the relationship of chemical concepts used in textbooks with natural phenomena in the daily life were examined among them. Scopes and sequences of teaching materials in textbooks were also compared. It was found that chemical concepts described in science textbooks in Japan are quite similar each other, but ones in U.S.A.and U.K.are not.
2. Many plans for teaching and practical reports in schools written by science teachers were analyzed. It was found that most of them were in conformity to the Guideline for School Science shown by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture.
3. It was surveyed how science teachers and pupils grasp the value and merit to learn chemistry and what kind of impressionable scenes they remember in the process of teaching or learning chemistry. Many teachers pointed out the importance of the nature of chemistry itself, and of the various environments surrounding children. The results of pupils' responses are put in order, and they will be reported later.
4. Several modules for teaching chemistry at the lower secondary school have been proposed in this study. Other ones are in progress, and they will be presented in the following year.
