A Study on the Trend in Logical Expression at School Science

本研究通过对国际教育成就评价协会（IEA）1995年、1999年和2003年发布的一系列《国际数学与科学研究趋势》（TIMSS）的分析和比较，日本学生的科学成就，似乎学生对科学的兴趣/愿望/态度和在学校科学中的逻辑表达，特别是在以前的TIMSS调查中国际上观察到的低水平，在TIMSS 2003中这些变化如何？为了使它清楚，所有的描述性的反应（句子等）。的小学生和初中生进行了输入和分析。学生的反应，应回答的句子和图形之间的数学和科学项目的小册子1至12，设置为约4,700名小学四年级学生和约5，研究结果报告中，对TIMSS中逻辑表达式的分析构造了回答问题，并对主要参与国家/地区的教师问卷调查结果（包括教学方法和对科学的态度）与科学态度之间的关系进行了总结。

In this research, by the analysis and comparison of a series of the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) which were administrated by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) respectively in 1995, 1999 and 2003, the Japanese students' science achievement was tried to be made clear.As if the students' interest/desire/attitude to the science and logical expression at school science, that were observing low internationally in the former TIMSS surveys especially, how those changed in TIMSS2003? In order to make it clear, all the descriptive responses (the sentence etc.) of the elementary and lower secondary school students were input and analyzed.The students' responses of the science items that should be answered with sentences and drawings among booklets 1 to 12 of the mathematics and also science items that were set for about 4,700 fourth graders in the elementary schools and about 5,000 second graders in the lower secondary schools specifically were input and turned to the database.In the research result report, the analysis of logical expression in TIMSS constructed response question, and the relationship between that and the results of the teacher questionnaire including the teaching methods and the attitude towards science in the main participating nation/area were summarized.
