| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The transgrade experiment courses are attempt at collaborative education in which a wide range of generations, from junior and senior high school students to adults and the elderly, work on the same experimental tasks in small groups. Although this study faced the Corona disaster, by changing the training site and switching to online training, the construction and practice of the practical training course was promoted in line with the research objectives. The transgrade experiment courses such as fluorescence/polarization microscope assembly, transcription and translation experiments, gene polymorphism analysis, and imaging diagnosis using small animals were constructed and offered, and the educational effects were verified by obtaining feedback from many participants, including junior and senior high school students, science teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students at our university.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
トランスグレード教育は、従来の教育では対象にされてこなかった異年齢集団に対する独創的な高度教養教育である。中高理科教員と連携して、COVID-19により科学技術に直接触れる場を奪われていた中高生に科学を体験する機会を提供できたことは大きな意義があり、若者の科学リテラシー向上と次世代人材育成に資するものとなった。社会人受講者の大部分は中高・大学の教員であったため、教員のリスキリングにも大いに貢献できた。
