Science Education Curriculum connected to Workplace

为了设计与工作场所相关的科学课程，对科学教材进行了调查。废物处理和处置工程在社区生活中起着至关重要的作用，因为其公民的健康有赖于对废物的适当处理。为了维持我们的高消费社会，人类活动导致了有毒废物的大规模处置。为了构建一些科学教育内容，我们拍摄了北海道大学工厂和北海道地区大山深处设施中的废物处理过程。这些工厂和设施中的处理过程包含一些化学反应，这些化学反应在科学教育背景下是重要的。未来的研究课题是根据本研究项目获得的教育内容构建具体的教案。

The science teaching materials are investigated to design the science curriculum connected to workplace contexts. The waste treatment and disposal engineering plays a vital role in the life of the community, as the health of its citizens depends on the proper treatment of waste material. The human activities, which are required to sustain our high-consumption society, leads to the mass-disposal of poisonous waste.The waste treatment processes in the plant of Hokkaido University and in the facilities in the depths of the mountain in Hokkaido area are videotaped to construct some science educational contents. These treatment processes in those plant and facilities contain some chemical reactions which are important in science education contexts.The future research subject is to construct a concrete lesson plan with the educational contents obtained in this research project.
