A Study on the Cross-Curriculum for a Science- and Techology- oriented Society

本研究的目的是探讨一种新的课程-“跨课程”的相关问题。为此，我们首先探讨了跨课程的定义、目标、内容和管理等基本问题。为了检验这些问题，我们分析了英国国家课程中跨课程要素的结构和内容。然后，为了检验几个实际问题，我们对阿卡斯实验初中的9门跨课程进行了观察。对教师和学生进行了问卷调查和访谈。在问卷调查和访谈中，他们被要求从跨课程的角度来评价这9门课程，发展良好的跨课程的主要相关点如下：1。尽可能地促进结构的多样性和灵活性.编制与信息、环境问题和科学技术进步等STS问题相关的课程材料。改善教师之间的沟通。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the issues concerning a new curricurulm so called "cross-curriculum" For that purpose, we examined, at first, several fundamental issues, definitions of cross-curriculum, objectives, contents, and management, etc. In order to exam these issues, we analyzed the structure and contents of the cross-curricular elements of the National Curriculum in the United Kingdom. Then, in order to examine several pratical problems, we observed 9 coureses of the cross-curriculum in the Akasi experimental junior high school. The questionnaire and interviews for teachers and students were carried out. In the questionnaire and interviews, they were asked to evaluate the 9 coureses from the view point of cross-curricular approach.The main relevant points of the development of the better cross-curriculm were as follows :1. to promote variety and flexiblity of structure as much as possible in the curriculum.2. to develop curriculum materials related STS issues such as information, environmental problems and advances in scientific technology.3. to improve communication between teachers.
