Research Abstract |
Educational activity for undergraduates was held to train them to become elementary school teachers who can conduct science classes that include observation and experiments. The same activity held for teachers was opened for the teacher qualification renewal system. The activities were designed to acquire ideas and objects to produce and provide science classes, using teaching materials specialized in the Matter/Energy field. All participants who took this practice have learned experimental observation skills necessary for school science lessons at least. Furthermore, the participants assessed "what learning is required now" and became "teachers who continue learning", which are necessary for the development of teachers.
