Textbook examination and Curriculum development from a standpoint of misconception study

通过考察日本初中理科教科书的描述，作者发现“误解”是在哪里以及如何在学生中建立或维持的。对误解的现代研究被用来调查这种情况。然后在《物理教育研究》关于主动学习(互动参与)教学研究的基础上，为日本学生开发了教材和课程。开发的课程是“辅导式”式的。本课程实施后的《光与光学概念评价》考前成绩与每一次主动学习指导的典型成绩相同。

Examining descriptions of Japanese textbooks of junior high school science, the author found where and how "misconceptions" are built or maintained among students. Modern studies on misconceptions were utilized to investigate this situation. Then the author developed teaching materials and curriculum for Japanese students based on studies on Active Learning (Interactive Engagement) instruction of Physics Education Research. The developed curriculum was "Tutorial" like style. The gain of pre-post test score of "Light and Optics Concept Evaluation" via implementation of this curriculum was the same as typical score of PER Active Learning instruction.
