Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed educational programs using TV programs: “Think Like a Crow -Scientific Method-” and “Viewpoint Science: Make it and See!” broadcasted by NHK, in order to foster the scientific mindsets and viewpoints of students and their parents. From the viewpoint of science communication research, we have focused on assessing scientific mindsets and viewpoint, using a rubric, one of the evaluation methods.
