Practical Research on the Educational System Based on the International Comparative Study of the Earth Systems Education

本研究旨在探讨地球系统教育作为一种综合科学教育的可能性，并以此为基础建立促进学生积极学习自然与科学的教育体系。在过去的4年里，我们比较了国外的ESE，并开发了适合日本国情的ESE教育体系。研究结果如下：1。在四年的时间里，许多教师培训项目被开发出来。合作学者在大学开发、实践和评估职前教师培训计划。本研究的代表在县、市和学校各级制定了许多在职教师培训计划。他们的练习和评估都很好。本研究系统地包括了在K -12^< >年级和大学的ESE实践和评估。这两份研究报告已出版并分发给日本各地国立大学的教育中心和教育部门。发表论文《日本地球系统教育的研究与实践》等21篇论著，在科学教育研究会作口头报告21次。在小学和中学实验学校进行了教学实践。开发了许多创新的课程、教学方法、评价方法和教材。特别是在三崎初中，ESE的实验学校，ESE的创新科学课程被神奈川县教育委员会提名为优秀课程范例，并被列入国家教育政策研究所的网页。那所学校的一些学生在学生科学研究竞赛中获得了首相奖。一名科学教师在2004年被《读卖新闻》公司评为最佳科学教师。我们走访了国外一些实施ESE教学的机构和学校，对ESE教学进行国际比较研究。日本收集和使用了许多关于ESE的教材和文献。少

The objective of this research is to study the possibility of the Earth Systems Education (ESE), an integrated science education, which can be the base to establish the educational system for promoting students to study nature and science actively. In the past 4 years, we compared the ESE in foreign countries and developed the educational system of the ESE fit for the Japanese contexts.The research results are as follows:1. Many teacher training programs for the ESE were developed in 4 years. The collaborative scholars developed, practiced and evaluated the pre-service teacher training program at the universities. The representative of this research developed many in-service teacher training programs at the prefectural, municipal and school levels. They were practiced and assessed very good. The research includes the ESE practice and assessment at the K -12^<th> grade, and university systematically. The two research reports were published and delivered to the educational centers and th … More e educational departments of the national universities all over Japan. The 21 writings including the paper "The Study and Practice of the Earth Systems Education in Japan" and 21 oral presentation at the science education research societies.2. The practice of the ESE were conducted in the primary and secondary lab schools. Many innovative curricula, teaching methods, assessment methods and teaching materials were developed. Particularly at the Misaki Junior High School, the Lab school of ESE, the innovative science curricula on ESE were nominated as good curriculum examples by the Kanagawa Board Of Education and enlisted on the Webpage of the National Institute for Educational Policy Research. Some students at that school were awarded the Prime Minister Prize in the Students' Science Research Competition. A science teacher were was awarded the best science teacher in 2004 by the Yomiuri Newspaper company.3. We visited some facilities and schools in foreign countries where the ESE were practiced for the international comparative study of the ESE. Many teaching materials and literatures on the ESE were collected and used in Japan. Less
