Abstract
In the new Course of Study for elementary schools, the phrase “work the way of viewing and thinking” has been introduced in all subjects. In science, binary concepts such as “quantitative / relational” and “diversity / commonality” were given as keywords and the idea of “comparing” and “relating” were given as keywords. School teachers need to analyze teaching materials based on these keywords. In addition, they need to study the way of teaching to nurture these qualities and abilities in their students. The Course of Study includes observations, experiments based on the concept of “purpose, measurement and control”, and the idea of “manufacturing”. Also, it describes “guidance to nurture programming-based thinking”, and teachers are required to create lessons to nurture the proposed qualities and abilities based on these ideas.
