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

本研究采用问卷调查的方式，调查了我校学生在制物和教育方面的现状，并对其需求和存在的问题进行了分析。孩子们对做东西的活动很感兴趣，但他们没有足够的时间做这些，因为学校的课时减少了。通过科学研究助学金开发的教材，讲授了制作东西的课程。实践性课目如下：1)生活环境中制作筷子的教材：1)生活环境中制作筷子的课程为小学低年级学生提供制作筷子的趣味2)指导木质拼图的方法为了认识三维空间，学生在初中技术课上制作了木质拼图。通过拼图的制作和组织，可以清楚地看到学生们对三维空间的稳定认识。3)吴克伦教材4)乐高头脑科学课的实践5)混合动力发电机的开发6)便携式手机电池充电器，便携式LED灯和应急电源初中学生对包含节能的能量交换技术感兴趣。7)风力发电机为了传播制作物品和教育，在2005年爱知世博会上举办了制作物品活动。参与者对制作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.
