Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, firstly, a method to cultivate problem-solving abilities systematically was formulated based on the Warp and Woof model of problem solving. Secondly, gaming instructional materials to realize model-based instructions in STEM subject areas were developed and practices to verify their effects were conducted. Thirdly, in order to cultivate problem-solving abilities by associating subject areas with the period of integrated studies (PIS), the New Backward Design method was proposed. In this method, activities to evaluate SDGs policies are set for the PIS, their sub-problems are set for exploration activities in each subject area, and domain-specific knowledge and ways of viewing and thinking necessary to be used in exploration activities are planned to be taught in regular class. Fourthly, virtual lesson games to teach that method for student teachers were developed and their effects were verified.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今、学校教育では、思考力・判断力の育成を重視した教育が求められている。本研究は、従来の教育が汎用的能力の育成に失敗してきた理由を考察したBruerの主張を参考に、「問題解決の縦糸・横糸モデル」をメタ認知知識として明示的に提供し、メタ認知技能の働かせ方をゲーミング教材でコーチングする手法を提案・実現し、効果検証した。これによって、各教科の探究的な活動を改善することが可能になる。また、当該手法を教員に指導する方法として、「縦糸・横糸モデル」に基づく教師教育用ゲーミング教材も開発し、その効果も検証した。これにより、教師が適切な探究活動を設計できるようになり、カリキュラム改革を進めることが期待される。
