| Research Abstract |
This research reveals the influence of Buddhism on the practice of science education in Japan. According to the quantitative survey, the Buddhism influence was identified as four factors (Attitude toward Children, the relation between the self and others, the nature of science, and the worldview), over a wide range of the science education scene, such as experiment and observations, view of nature, and teaching methodology. Searching for the Buddhism thoughts of Kiichi Marumoto, who led the elementary science education in Japan, 1430 transparencies of his lectures, 11 extracted tapes of his teaching, four boxes of the private word bank out of 10 boxes, and more than hundred of lecture notes were examined. As the result, some of the Buddhism thoughts were found such as 'Hai-iku.' On facing the multi-cultural society, the importance of the awareness of own cultural background of teachers was insisted.
