Outline of Final Research Achievements

A purpose of this study was to systematize teaching materials and instructional methods for pre-engineering education in order to cultivate students' abilities of technological designing in elementary and junior high school education. For this purpose, an investigation for grasping teachers' consciousness, an analysis for students' technological abilities through their developmental stage, and an examination of conditions of instructional strategies for promoting their abilities of technological designing, were carried out. Based on the findings obtained, concrete teaching materials and instructional methods were developed, and teacher’s guidebook and web resources were published in order to support these practices.
