Practical Report on Tele-education in Collaboration with Museum and School

Abstract

With the changing of school education due to introduction of integrated learning, schools often try to have a tele-education program collaborated with museum. Most of the programs, however, are one-way communication where by children receive only knowledge from experts. In order to make collaborative programs, teachers and experts must attach greater importance to the process of learning than to the result of it .We experimentally conducted a process-oriented program of integrated learning at Nishiyama Elementary School (Takarazuka City) in relation to field studies and television conferences. This paper reports a case study about integrated learning in which we thought up alternative programs and their effects.
