Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to propose effective problem-solving teaching materials that approach the significance and value of nurturing living things of Technology Education, and to establish teaching methods. In the task setting of nurturing living things of Technology Education, it was suggested that securing yield is a major issue, and that it is effective for students to set multifaceted tasks based on the demands of society as small tasks. In addition to yield, it was clarified that pre-prepared teaching materials based on the test results of potatoes and wheat can contribute to the adjustment of the growing environment by using the viewpoint and way of thinking of the technology in setting tasks and planning for the students' own cultivation activities, in addition to understanding their knowledge of biological growth techniques.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では生物育成の技術における「技術による課題解決」を重視した教材およびカリキュラムの創出を試みた。課題設定時に用いる教材は複数の観点に気付ける教材でなければならず、生徒が技術科の根幹に迫る重要な役割を担う。本研究で開発した作物の試験結果を基にした教材は技術の見方・考え方に気付き、これらを働かせた課題設定に資する教材であることが明らかとなった。また農薬選択ゲームでは課題設定前の技術の見方・考え方に気付かせる場面での導入が有効であることが示唆され、オンライン版でも同様の結果が得られた。このオンライン教材はどこにいてもだれとでも学習ができる新たな教材のスタイルとして試みることもできた。
