Development of Teaching Materials for Environmental Chemistry utilizing Wastes and Practical Research on Environmental Education in and outside Japan

（1)环境化学教材的开发利用各种废弃物，开发了以下环境化学教学教材：1)铜的循环(2)实验废水中的化合物，2）化学取暖实验废弃物中的铁的回收，3)废油中有机化合物的反应循环。此外，还进行了二氧化碳溶解度实验。(2)实践教育研究：1)以当地水环境为研究对象，提出了小学生环境学习方案，并将其作为一种学习活动应用于某小学。2)利用本工作编制的环境化学教育教材，提出了高中环境化学学习方案，并在某高中进行了学习实践。(3)教师培训：1)提出了一套考虑环境教育的科学教师培训课程。2)认识到生态博物馆是一个可能的环境学习机会，通过比较日本和美国的现状，讨论了一个策展人培训课程。(4)亚非地区环境教育：1)通过分析亚非地区环境教育的现状，论述了国际合作在环境教育中的作用和意义。2)通过对社区实践活动的分析，评价以自然活动为中心的学习在学前阶段的意义。

(1) Development of Teaching Materials for Environmental Chemistry Utilizing various wastes, the following teaching materials were developed for environmental chemistry education, 1) cycling of copper(II) compounds from experimental wastewater, 2) recovering iron from experimental waste of chemical body warmers, and 3) reaction cycle of organic compounds from waste oil. In addition, an experiment concerning the solubility of carbon dioxide was developed.(2) Research on Practical Education: 1) Focusing on a local water environment, a learning program of environment for elementary school students was proposed and applied as a learning activity in an elementary school. 2) Utilizing the teaching materials for environmental chemistry education developed in the present work, a learning program for high school was proposed and trialed as a learning activity in a high school.(3) Teacher Training: 1) A curriculum for science teacher training course was proposed by taking environmental education into account. 2) Recognizing the ecomuseum as a possible learning opportunity for environment, a training course for curators was discussed by comparing the present status in Japan and the United States.(4) Environmental Education in Asia-African Region: 1) By analyzing the present status of Environmental Education in the Asia-African region, the role and significance of international cooperation in environmental education were discussed. 2) The significance of nature activity centered learning at the pre-school stage was evaluated by analyzing the practical activities in a community.
