| Research Abstract |
This study was aimed at designing a curriculum for elementary and high school students to learn the basic of the advanced science issues. We conducted the review of studies on the Learning Progressions Model and compared the contents and trajectory of student learning between LPs and our national curriculum guideline. The comparative analysis suggested that the national guideline covers the sufficient range of contents but did not have meaningful connections among study units. The further analysis of materials from the Hypothesis-Testing Instruction developed in Japan revealed that there might be another possible trajectory of learning the basic that is different from LPs in the preceding studies.
