Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify “the curriculum and its evaluation for the continuous use of scientific concepts as science strategies” in science education. To this end, we addressed the following three issues: 1) organizing the relationship between the goals of science education and scientific concepts, 2) examining the perspectives of assessment to promote the use of learning strategies, and 3) selecting and developing tasks for the continuous use of learning strategies. For (1) and (2), we organized them based on the goals of science education and the descriptions in the new Courses of Study, and were able to summarize them as the “Four Quadrants of STEAM Education. For (3), we were able to conduct classes in STEAM education and “Integrated Study (Time for Inquiry)” and present the results to the public.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教育課程においては、学習内容（コンテンツ）はもちろんであるが、それ以上に「資質・能力」（コンピテンシー）の育成が求められている。本研究では「資質・能力」の育成に着目し、育成のために必要な「見方・考え方」を具体的に示すことを目指した。「見方」については、理科教育の「科学的な概念」の研究から、「安定性と変化」をはじめとして、いくつかを事例的に示すことができた。「考え方」については、STEAM教育の立場から、楽器づくりという活動に着目し、教材を開発することができた。また、「見方」と「考え方」を軸として組み合わせることで、STEAM教育実践の評価枠組みとしての「四象限」を提案することができた。
