抄録

An integrated study was programmed on the subject of sport and inequality. We carried out in practice what we had programmed for the elementary school children in the sixth grade and appreciated that sport was valuable to learn the best solution of inequality. The results obtained were as follows.
(1) What we had programmed appealed to the children and aroused their interest. Usefulness of sport in order to learn the best solution of inequality was summarized as the following three points: (a) It was easy for the children to aware that they were unequal by using sport as the teaching material. (b) They could understand equality perfectly by learning through sport and exercise. (c) They could utilize practically what they learned.
(2) It was effective for the children at the stage of exchanging the outcome of problem solving to share the course of problem forming through their common experience. To share this course of problem forming was also effective for the children not only to feel complete reliance on others but also to have a fellow feeling with them.
