Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, "Q-U for high school students", which is well-known psychological measure in technical colleges, was applied to students who belong to different types technical colleges. The type of classes commonly seen in technical colleges were characterized based on Q-U score.　By processing these scores statistically, Q-U for technical college students was developed. Through this scale, we grasped the characteristics of technical college students and examined what teaching material development and lesson composition are most suitable for classes of type commonly seen in technical colleges. In this way, we developed the basic life science program ensured based on the Q-U for technical college students.
