Comprehensive Research on Improvement of Science & Mathematics Education at Upper Secondary School

本研究于1999年至2002年期间进行，为期四年，重点是高中三年级的科学和数学成绩测试以及高中课程的调查。结果在每年的七份调查报告和第四年年底的五份最终报告中得出结论。2000年2月，对日本高中数学和科学课程进行了调查，并向全国高中邮寄了调查问卷。其中，约80%的学校作出了答复，即5003所高中和6631门课程。结果发现，在他们的课程中，数学III的比例为51%，物理II的比例为41%。在三年级学生中，26%的学生参加了数学III，17%的学生参加了物理II。 ...更多信息 采用两阶段分层随机抽样方法，从日本全日制学校中抽取85个全日制班的4205名学生，于2000年12月至2001年12月进行了问卷调查。结果发现，与20年前的同类调查结果相比，数学和科学课程学生的成绩差异并不大。2002年10月，在日本进行了一项关于高中数学和科学教育未来模式的意见调查。2000- 2002年对国外数学教育进行了调查和分析，其中美国的推进项目和传播方式，荷兰的现实数学，英国的全国性考试和瑞士的高中文科数学教育是其主要特点。（Jugyo-kenkyu）在2001-2002年期间进行的数学课堂教学研究，以寻找改进数学课堂教学的方向，并明确课程研究方法的模式。本研究认为，科学与数学课程研究的关键在于制定与实施课程研究计划，在实验课后召开研究会，并撰写课程研究报告，在此基础上，提出了科学与数学课程研究的未来模式。少

This research had been conducted four years during 1999-2002, focused on achievement test in science and mathematics for the third grade of upper secondary schools and survey on curriculum of upper secondary schools. The results were concluded in seven interim-reports in each year and five final-reports in the end of the fourth year. Summary of research results during these four years are as follows.Survey on curriculum of mathematics and science in upper secondary Schools were conducted in February 2000 to send questionnaires by mail to all upper secondary schools in Japan. Of all, about 80 % of schools responded, namely, 5003 upper secondary schools and 6631 courses. The following facts were found. Among their courses, Math III was set in 51% and Physics II in 41%. Among the third grade students, 26% of the students took Math III and 17% of the students took Physics II.Achievement test in science and mathematics for the third grade of upper secondary schools were conducted during Nov … More ember to December 2000 for 4205 students in 85 whole-day courses that were selected from all whole-day course in Japan by the two steps stratified random sampling. The following facts were found. Comparing the results with the results of the same type of survey conducted about 20 years ago, there was not so much achievement difference in students of mathematics and science courses between the two results.Survey on opinions on the future model for mathematics and science education of upper secondary school by knowledgeable people in Japan was conducted in October 2002. Ninety people responded to write their opinions.Mathematics education of other countries was surveyed and analyzed durinlg 2000-2002.Among the results, advancing projects and the dissemination method in US, realistic mathematics in the Netherlands, national tests in UK and upper secondary mathematics education for liberal arts in Switzerland were found as main features.Lesson research (Jugyo-kenkyu) had conducted during 2001-2002 to find direction of improvement of mathematics classroom teaching and to clarify model of lesson research for the methodology. The following points were recognized as crucial in lesson research ; setting and conducting plan for lesson research, research meeting after experimental lesson and making reports for the lesson research.After these research and survey, future models for science and mathematics education were proposed.
