| Research Abstract |
This study is a psychologically-based, practical approach that uses "cognitive phenomena" as a means to help develop science literacy for junior high school students. Specifically, we developed teaching methods based on experiential cognition that cultivates creative thinking. Moreover, using our methods, a thinking training program was designed, and the effect was verified through teaching practice. It was suggested that this training program promotes scientific and creative thinking. We discuss about the improvement of our teaching methods in the future.
