Outline of Final Research Achievements	This research has three objectives. The first is to develop computer-based teaching materials for solid shapes and to elucidate their effectiveness through bioinformation measurement experiments that simultaneously measure brain activity and eye movement. The second is to complete computer-based teaching materials for solid shapes for elementary and junior high school students that are effective in improving spatial awareness. And the third is to popularize these teaching materials. First, we first conducted an experiment to simultaneously measure brain activity and eye movement related to mental rotation with 32 university students, and then conducted and analyzed experiments related to solid shapes with 58 university and graduate students and 23 sixth graders. Second, we produced a total of 36 solid shape teaching materials. Third, we made them available on a dedicated website.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	脳活動と視線移動の同時計測は、装着に伴う被験者への負荷や、実験データの正確な取得などの点において、現時点で大きなハードルのある実験である。そうした中、本科研では、大学生・大学院生と小学6年生、合計数十名に実験が実施できた点は、日本はもとより世界的にも希少な成果であるといえ、その分析結果は、生理学視点からの教育研究に大きく貢献するものであると考えている。あわせて、これらの知見を踏まえた、数十本の空間図形教材の開発と専用ホームページでの公開は、我が国の子どもたちの算数・数学の図形学習における有益なサポート教材となることが期待される。今後は、空間教材のさらなる開発に取り組んでいく予定である。
