The following results were obtained :(1)I discuss the In-Service Teacher Training for the step towards the improvement of Geoscience teaching. In the urban area like Osaka, I should notice that the river environment is useful for the observation from the viewpoint of geosciences education. And we should not overlook the role of prefectural education center of these days.(2)I discuss significance and problems of the Science Partnership Program from the viewpoint of practice of the In-Service Field Training of Teachers around the Rokko Fault and the Nojima Fault in Hyogo Prefecture. In these areas, many people were injured by the Hyogoken-nanbu Earthquake in 1995. Many trainees in this program have learned about natural landscape and natural disasters. This program makes it clear that partnership between scientists and education center is very important for the effective In-service field training of teachers.
