Development of Program aided Science and Technology Education based on Making Things

通过问卷调查，对我国制造业和教育现状进行了调查，分析了我国制造业和教育现状的需求和存在的问题。孩子们对制作东西的活动很感兴趣，但是他们没有足够的时间来做这些，因为学校的课时减少了。通过科学研究资助项目编写的教材，教授了制作物品的课程。孩子们对本研究开发的所有教材都很感兴趣。实践课的项目有：1)生活环境研究中制作筷子的教材2)制作筷子的教学内容是为了给小学低年级的学生提供制作东西的吸引力2)用木拼图绘制的指导方法初中技术课上，学生为了认识三维空间，制作了木拼图。通过拼图的制作和结构，可以明显看出学生们对三维空间的认知是稳定的。3) angklunon教材4)Lego mindstorms科学课实践5)混合动力发电机的研制6)便携式手机电池充电器、便携式LED灯、应急电源初中学生对包含节能的能源交换技术感兴趣。风力发电机为了传播造物和教育，2005年爱知县世界博览会举办了造物活动。参与者对制造物品的事件做出了肯定的反应。

We researched a questionnaire about the present condition on making things and education, and the need and problem on those were examine. The children were interest in the activities of making things, but they didn't have enough time for those because class hours were reduced in school. By the teaching materials developed by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research, the lessons of making things were given. The children were interest in all teaching materials developed in this studies.The items of practical lessons are follows:1) Teaching materials on making chopsticks in Life Environment StudiesThe lessons of making chopsticks in Life Environment Studies were conducted in order to offer attractions of making thing to elementary lower students2) Means of guidance for drawing by wooden puzzleFor recognizing the three dimensional space, students made the wooden puzzle on technology lesson in Junior High School. Through the making and structuring the puzzle, it was clear that students steadily recognized the three dimensional space.3) Teaching materials on Angklung4) Practice of Lesson on Science by Lego Mindstorms5) Development of hybrid Generator6) Battery charger for portable phone, portable LED light and power supply for emergencyStudents in Junior High School were interest in technology of energy exchange contained saving energy.7) Wind power generatorIn order to spread the making things and education, events for the making things was convened at the World Exposition 2005 in Aichi. Participants responded affirmatively to events of the making things.
