Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research was to develop a model of educational practice to be made available at the school science lesson by giving a series of questions to the exhibits of natural and science museums. At that time we referred to the theory of "the doors of the art" of the TATE. At the Museum of Science, TUS, we developed a series of questions for the concept learning of electromagnetic induction for the series of exhibit. At the Miyazaki, Prefectural General Museum we developed and evaluated questioning cards for learning about insect body formation. In addition, a student of the teacher training course is allowed to experience the question making for the museum exhibition from the viewpoint of "theme" "subject" "context", and a practical model for utilizing the museum exhibition in school education was presented.
