The Development of STS-Education Materials For High School Students

今天，我们生活在科学文明的社会，在很大程度上受到科学和科学技术的影响。因此，我们必须正确认识科学的本质、技术的本质以及科学、技术与社会的关系。为了培养这样的公民，STS教育是必要的。在我们的项目中，我们试图为高中生开发STS教育材料。开发的材料如下。1.水俣病（著名的“Kogai”疾病之一）;本材料的主要目的是通过Kogai了解STS的关系。2.大型开发项目（关西国际机场、赤坂大桥）;这些材料是为了思考地质、地质技术和社会的关系而开发的。电力技术与人类环境的历史本材料是为了理解HSTSE而开发的。(Here H是历史，S是科学，T是技术，S是社会，E是环境）我们在几所高中的学生中练习这些材料，他们对STS的理解有很好的印象。

Today, we live in the scientific civilized society and are largely influenced by science and scientific technology. So we must understand the nature of science, the nuture of technology and the relations of science, technology and society, accurately. The STS-Education is necessary in order to grow such citizens.In our project, we attempted to develop the materials of STS-Education for high school students. The developed materials are as follows.1. Minamata-disease ( one of the famous 'Kogai' diseases ) ; The main object of this material is to understand the relations of STS through Kogai.2. Big development Project (Kansai international Airport, Akasaka Big Bridge ) ; These materials are developed in order to think the relations of geology, geological technology and society.3. The History of Power Technology and Human Environment ; This material is developed in order for the understanding of HSTSE.(Here, H is history, S is science, T is technology, s is society and E is environment)We practiced these materials to students in several high schools and had good impression on their understanding of STS.
