A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIENCE-BASED LEARNING DESIGNED FOR THE CREATION AND UTILIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE

本研究旨在全面反思制造业技能和技术发展的教育，主要通过国内外学校的研究来关注制造和体验活动。(1)国内的研究包括对初高中学生和大学生的问卷调查，对教师和家长的问卷调查，对企业和高校的访谈。他们都是指制造经验和学习。(2)海外研究包括访问北美、欧洲和大洋洲等14个国家/地区的学校、学院和培训机构，重点关注技术的一般和技术教育。以及制造技能。研究结果如下：与大多数访问过的国家所看到的以技术为导向的学习相比，由于缺乏整合的理念和活动时间，日本的制造业教育是零星和不一致的。许多国家在战略上强调技术素养和技术技能教育。根据最近访问的国家/地区的趋势，我们关注了两个主题；技术和制造素养，以及培养“技术专家”的高等教育体系。根据研究结果，本研究提出了8项关于未来日本教育的建议。其中包括在K-12阶段建立以制造业为中心的新教育项目，创建核心科目“技术”，建立以技术高中为主导的技术人员培训为目的的技术大学。另一个建议是建立当地的技术中心，让所有的人都能在熟练的教练的帮助下享受和学习制造。

This study aims at a total reconsideration of education for the development of manufacturing skills and technology, mainly focused on manufacturing and experiencing activities through the research of domestic and oversea schools.(1) Domestic research includes questionnaires for junior and senior high school and college students, questionnaires for teachers, and parents, interviews at corporations and universities. They all refers to manufacturing experiences and learning.(2) Oversea research includes visiting schools, colleges and training facilities in 14 countries/area, in North America, Europe, and Australasia, focusing on general and technical education for technology. And manufacturing skills.The research findings are as follows.Manufacturing education in Japan is sporadic and inconsistent due to lack of integrating philosophy and activity time, compared with technology-oriented learning seen in most countries visited. Many countries are strategically emphasizing technology literacy and education for technological skills. Taking recent trends in the countries/area visited, we have paid attention to two topics ; technology and manufacturing literacy, and higher education system for training ‘technologist.',This study, has created 8 propositions on education in the near future Japan, based on the findings obtained through the research. They include the creation of new educational program centered around manufacturing in K-12, creation of a core subject ‘technology' and, establishment of technology university designed for the training on technologists leading from technology high schools. Another proposition is the establishment of local technical centers where all generations enjoy and learn manufacturing aided by skilled instructors.
