| Research Abstract |
In this study, a method of teaching energy and environmental education in course work of school education has been introduced and the prospect of developing skills to evaluate and apply technology from the view point of promoting global warming countermeasures has been examined. As a result, production of hill-climbing energy conservation robot has been proposed in the technology education class in junior high schools. Also, in the class teaching how to make lighting equipment, comparative experiments of different lighting method revealed the importance of reviewing session after the hands-on activities in order to further encourage climate change actions. Utility consumption review in public schools has been conducted, and the utility that showed the highest consumption rate at each school was set as a target subject to be re-examined. For those schools that had excessive water consumption, experimental ozone water treatment units developed to help students learn the relationship betw

een water conservation and energy saving were introduced. And as a result, they were able to cut down the water bill in maximum of 40%. The nuclear power workshop held for senior high school and college students suggested that the discussion with specialists or the relevant knowledge provided alone is not enough to help students conceptualize the idea of atomic energy. The association methods indicated that teachers need to have ability to be good facilitators and commentators as well as having specialized knowledge. Support materials to foster the ability of technology assessment for power and air conditioning has been developed using the analytic hierarchy process. Among those, educational materials with two-dimensional motion analysis system introduced in technology education class in junior high school contributed to the technological advancement of tool handling, such as sawing, and reduction of class hours. These materials made it possible to integrate some activities concerning the current situation of global warming into class curriculum. Less
