| Research Abstract |
Examining descriptions of Japanese textbooks of junior high school science, the author found where and how "misconceptions" are built or maintained among students. Modern studies on misconceptions were utilized to investigate this situation. Then the author developed teaching materials and curriculum for Japanese students based on studies on Active Learning (Interactive Engagement) instruction of Physics Education Research. The developed curriculum was "Tutorial" like style. The gain of pre-post test score of "Light and Optics Concept Evaluation" via implementation of this curriculum was the same as typical score of PER Active Learning instruction.
