| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to provide examples of the development of assessment approaches for students' abilities. For the purpose, first we sort out problems of the assessment approaches that previous researches have suggested so far. At the same time, we suggest several viewpoints we should take into consideration to cultivate that kind of their abilities. After that, we give concrete examples of the development of education of evaluation methods for that ability. Next, we suggest three types of assessment approaches for the ability of problem solving : the limited type(type A) within the situation in question, the free type(type B) from the situation in question, and the method of having students make a self-valuation, using A or B assessment types(type C). Then we indicate examples in which in fact we adopted these three types to the concrete teaching contents and discuss advantages and disadvantages of each type application.
Next purpose of this study is to provide examples of the organization of teaching contents for training students' abilities in problem solving. Fast, we discuss the background reasons for the importance of the ability of problem solving. After that, we give concrete examples of the organization of teaching contents for that ability.
We concluded by pointing to the following two problems to be solved.
First, we need to organize teaching content further and have classes based on the content. Second, we need to cultivate other teaching contents.
