| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed a program for learning of the relationship between human activities and the natural environment in science classes of junior high school. The theme of the lesson was "Should we release Medaka into the natural stream for conservation purposes?" The program involved analyzing and interpreting data presented while utilizing the knowledge students acquired in science, and making decisions based on the results as a foundation.
Through the implementation of the developed learning program in class, it was demonstrated that students were able to interpret the data along the process of inquiry, considering what they had previously learned, and make decisions regarding the right and wrong for theme based on the obtained facts. However, due to the limited viewpoint of the inquiry in this program, in the future, it is necessary to improve the learning program that students are able to discuss to multidimensional and comprehensive consideration for the theme.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現在、「人間活動と自然環境の関わり」について学習する際には、身近な自然環境を取り上げ、これまでの学習内容を振り返って科学的な根拠に基づいて意思決定をすることが求められている。ここでの学習について、教科書に載っている活動はインターネットや書物を用いた調べ学習とその発表や話し合いに偏っていることが指摘されていた。本研究で開発したプログラムは探究の過程に沿って求められている学びを実践できるものであり、本研究の成果は理科で求められている子どもの資質・能力の育成に貢献するものである。本学習プログラムで取り上げた題材はどの地域でも子どもにとって身近なものであり、全国の学校で汎用可能なものである。
