Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of our study is to develop ICT-supported lesson models for science classes in elementary and middle schools and to evaluate their education effects. Our lesson models feature the interactive simulation PhET (The Physics Education Technology Project) executable on PCs and tablets, by which students can consider the natural phenomena around them and take the initiative to solve problems. In our practice of the lesson models at elementary and middle schools, students significantly changed their impression about difficult phenomena and improved their ability to utilize their knowledge in solving problems.
