Outline of Final Research Achievements

The method of analysis and evaluation of interactive physics lectures has been extended to the expectation and attitudes about physics learning. The quantitative analysis and evaluation for physics classes have been improved by introducing the questionnaire about learning attitudes. Specifically, we (1) introduce the questionnaire about learning attitudes, CLASS, which enables us to compare Japanese results with other countries, (2) analyze the effectiveness of lectures quantitatively by using the developed questionnaire and physics concept inventories, (3) analyze the gender differences by using the questionnaire, and (4) develop teaching methods and materials based on the data obtained.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教育の質保証の観点から「評価手法の研究・開発」の必要性が指摘されてきているが，具体的な評価方法に関しては模索が続いている。本研究の成果である学習姿勢と知識・理解との複合的かつ定量的な評価法の確立は，この学術的要請に，物理教育研究として，一定の成果を示した意義があると考える。また，例えば，学習姿勢調査CLASSと力の概念調査FCIとの複合的分析により，物理の知識・概念理解だけでなく学習姿勢をも向上させる授業法を開発することで教育実践の改善につなげられると期待され，この意味で社会的意義を有すると考える。
