Tue. Apr 29, 2014 2:15 PM - 3:30 PM 503 (5F)

Convener:*Satoshi Miyajima(Saitama prefectural Fukaya dai-ichi High School), Yutaka Takigami(Kanto Gakuen University), Satoshi Yamashita(Saitama Prefecural Kumagaya Girls' Upper Secondary School), Chair:Yutaka Takigami(Kanto Gakuen University), Masatsune Hatakeyama(Seiko Gakuin High School)

From 2012, the national curriculum has been in effect according to Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology guidelines.Three or more subjects are chosen from the following four subjects; Basic Physics, Basic Chemistry, Basic Biology and Basic Geoscience. As a result, the number of students who choose geoscience has increased by more than 2.5 times compared with that of the number under the former national curriculum guidelines, and some improvement came to be seen in people's geoscience literacy. In order to raise geoscience literacy, it is necessary to the number of students taking geoscience increase even more. It is necessary to discern what is asked of high school geoscience education by society, and include the appropriate contents. In order to allow students to learn the content effectively, we need to discuss what kind of subject setup is desirable. Regarding the state of high school geoscience education in the next national curriculum guidelines, we plan to hold follow up discussions with invited speaker's.
