Effect of animal rearing and animal dissection on the change of awareness of respect for animal life:Evaluation by FUMIE test

本研究探讨动物饲养与解剖对国中生尊重动物生命意识变化的影响。在用FUMIE测验研究牛蛙解剖效果时，解剖后学生对生命这一关键词的IAS值下降，表明学生对动物生命的恐惧心理增强。在实蝇饲养效果的研究中，几乎所有的学生在接受问卷调查时，都回答了饲养前认为实蝇很麻烦。饲养结束后，许多学生的回答改变了对苍蝇有用的想法。此外，在FUMIE测试中，以苍蝇为关键词的IAS值在饲养后增加，表明学生对果蝇的好感增加。这些结果在没有直立的情况下没有显示。这些结果显示，动物饲养是一种很好的教材，可以增加学生尊重动物生命的意识。

I examined the effect of animal rearing and dissection on the change of junior high school student's awareness of respect for animal life. In study of the effect of bull frog's dissection by using FUMIE test,the IAS value for life as key word decreased after the dissection,suggesting that student's fear mind against animal life increase. In study of the effect of rearing of fruit fly, almost all students answered their thinking for the fly as troublesome before the rearing when they asked as questionnaires. After the rearing, many student's answers changed the thinking for the fly as useful. Moreover, the IAS value for fly as key word in FUMIE test increased after the rearing, suggesting that student's good impression against fruit fly increase. These results were not shown without the rearing. These results suggest that animal rearing is good teaching materials to increase student's awareness of respect for animal life.
