Longitudinal study on the various factors which affect achievement in science and math.

这是为支援国立教育研究院科学教育研究中心从1987年开始主导的“影响科学和数学成绩的各种因素的纵向研究”课题而进行的附属研究。本研究项目的主要目的是研究影响学生对科学和数学成绩的态度并对其有贡献的各种因素。这将通过从10岁开始的大约10年的年度调查来分析这些因素来完成。通过这种方法，我们将尝试分析这些因素在小学、初中、高中、大学和成年期的贡献和变化。在本研究的第一年，进行了小规模调查和初步调查。在分析了这些结果之后，1989年3月发表了一份报告。在研究的第二年，在对这些结果进行了更详细的分析之后，于1990年3月发表了另一份报告，其中分析了问卷项目与科学和数学成绩之间的关系，并就各种因素进行了学年之间的比较。主要调查在研究的第二年进行。这些分析结果的部分将在第14届日本科学教育学会年会上发表。主要调查结果将在几年的年度调查中详细分析这些因素。此外，自1989年以来，北伊利诺伊大学的Jon Miller博士就与美国青年纵向研究项目交换信息和调查数据进行比较。

This is a subsidiary study which supports the research project "longitudinal study on the various factors which affect achievement in science and math" which has been led since 1987 by Science Education Research Center of the National Institute for Educational Research.The main purpose of this research project is to examine the various factors which affect attitude toward and contribute to achievement in science and math. This will be accomplished by analyzing these factors in a yearly survey over a period of roughly ten years beginning at age 10. By this method we will attempt to analyze the contribution and change of these factors through elementary school, lower secondary school, upper secondary school, college, and into adulthood.In the first-year of this study, a small scale survey and a preliminary survey were conducted. After analyzing these results a report was published in March, 1989.In the second year of this study, an another report was published in March, 1990 after analyzing these results in more detail, in which the relationships between the questionnaire items and the achievement in science and math were analyzed, also comparisons between school years were done with respect to various factors.Main survey was conducted in the second year of this study. The part of these analyzing results will be presented at the 14th annual meeting of Japan Society of Science Education. Main findings will be provided by analyzing in detail these factors in a yearly survey over a few years.Moreover, exchanging information and survey data with the Longitudinal Study of American Youth project by Dr Jon Miller of Northern Illinois University has been done for a comparison since 1989.
