New education programs for undergraduates and/or high school students have been tried in which teaching opportunities are effectively utilized.
First, a new style of education, “relay-teaching" from undergraduates to high school students further to elementary school students, was tried in the Science Experiments School. By providing the undergraduates and high school students with opportunities to teach and explain some knowledge to the others, it became possible to allow them to re-recognize and re-construct their own knowledge and improve their presentation-related skills. Thus, this style of teaching was found to be an effective education program.
Based on results of the above-mentioned program, a project for undergraduates has been in progress in which they develop science experiment programs to be used in elementary schools. The four programs for elementary schools were already developed and actually demonstrated by the undergraduates in general study classes of some elementary schools, which were successful in attracting interests of children. Moreover, the project was found to be effective in education for the undergraduates in which they can get opportunities to improve their various skills through experiences of teaching and preparation thereof.
This paper describes the above two new education programs and analyzes educational effects thereof.
