Research on Structure and Effect of Simulation Teaching Materials for Education of Creativity

在本项目为期3年的时间里，我们对创造力教育进行了研究。内容实现为《基于仿真软件的太空旅行》教材。为了具体定义我们对模拟的想法，我们编辑了补充文本《太空旅行模拟手册》。这项研究的结果发表在《研究》杂志上。报道：现代先进的信息社会需要具有原创性和创造性的人才，学校必须培养学生的创新能力。尽管创造力通常被认为是遗传的，但我们在研究中将创造力视为一种受教育的能力，并研究了一种用于创造力教育的教材的结构和效果。我们的研究结论是，创造力教育应从激发学习者的好奇心和积极的学习欲望开始。因此，我们设计教材是为了给学习者提供一个学习环境，在这个学习环境中，学习者对学习主题感兴趣，能够积极地发现问题及其解决方法。《太空旅行》主题是现代科学技术的精髓和当前的主题，如国际空间站的建设和载人登月和火星旅行。而“太空旅行”也是牛顿运动学在空间原理上的典型和实际应用。因此，太空旅行是最适合进行创造力教育的科目之一。该模拟是为了让学习者能够通过反复试验来设计自己的学习过程和方法。本研究以“创新教育模拟教材的结构与效果研究”为结束语，将研究内容整理为研究报告发表。

During the term (3 years) of this project, we have studied the education of creativity. The contents are realized as a teaching material "Space travel on Simulation Software". To define concretely our idea of the simulation, we edited a supplementary text "Space Travel Simulation Manual". The result of the research is edited in the Research. Report.Recent advanced information society requires persons with the ability of originality and creativity, and schools must educate students' creative ability. Even though creativity has often been thought as inherited nature, we consider the creativity an educated ability in our research, and studied a structure and effect of a teaching material for the education of creativity. Our research concluded that education of creativity should start at stimulating learner's curiosity and positive desire to learning. Therefore, we designed the teaching material to give a learner a learning environment in which a learner has an interest in a learning subject and can find positively the problem and its solving method.The subject "Space Travel" is the essences of the modern scientific technology and current topics such as the construction of international space station and manned travel for the Moon and Mars. And also "Space travel" is a typical and practical application of Newtonian kinematics based on the principle of the space. Thus the space travel is one of the most suitable subject to the education of creativity. The simulation is designed for learners to be able to devise their leaning processes and methods through trial-and-error by themselves. We arranged and published the contents as the research report to conclude the subject "Study on a structure and effect of a simulation teaching material for the education of creativity".
