Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are many issues with some similar points and different points among east Asian four countries, Japan, Korea Taiwan and Hong Kong. Similar points are, scores in the cognitive domain in science are relatively higher than other countries in the international test, however, those in psychomotor domain are lower than the international average. We discussed comparatively practical teaching and learning activities through science lesson study in 5th and 8th graders.
In quantitative analysis of science lessons both elementary and junior high school, the content of lessons in Hong Kong and Taiwan are more than those in Korea and Japan, therefore, Hong Kong and Taiwan teachers prepare many questions and students’ responses more than those in Korea and Japan. So, students could get high average by more science contents. Students are required to consider more deeply in science lessons of Korea and Japan. So students are fostered in thinking skills.
