Outline of Final Research Achievements

We planned for improvement of the learning ability by utilizing Critical Thinking to the subjects of mathematics and science. The thing on which infusion of CT, report problems is imposed and the insertions of the problem of suggesting CT utilization to the part of the examination question were practiced for CT utilization activation. This effect was investigated at the time of the class starting and an end using a rubric. Activation of the CT utilization was confirmed at the time of a class end. To investigate the influence to the degree of the learning ability improvement of this result, we classified the students who are an investigation object by test outcomes into an improvement group and non-improvement group. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed based on a classification result. It was confirmed that the practice of CT utilization activation is effective in improvement of the learning ability.
