The Development of Science Education at Prewar Higher Schools : The Case of First Higher School and Its Influence

我们考察了战前高等学校理工科教育的发展，重点是明治时期的物理、制图和测量教育。这一时期最大的转变发生在1886年，当时教育大臣森喜朗改革了全国的教育制度。然而，在明治时期，由于高等教育预期角色的转变，学生学习动机的变化，以及主要接受西化教育的年轻一代教师的热情挑战，小规模的改革并未停止。

We have surveyed the development of science and engineering education at prewar higher schools, focusing on education in physics, drawing, and surveying during the Meiji period. The largest transition in this period occurred in 1886, when Education Minister Arinori Mori reformed the nationwide educational system. Minor reforms did not cease during the Meiji period, however, because of the shifts in the expected roles of higher schools, the changes in motivations of pupils, and the enthusiastic challenges of younger generation of teachers who had mostly been exposed to westernized education.
