In this study, we used the RESAS software, which can visualize big data for foster Problem Solving Ability during class practice. We develop the ability fostered in a Junior High School by utilizing Big Data in a Senior High School and connect to the industrial society. We practiced “Information and Problem Solving” for two years in a class. According to a questionnaire survey based on an ARCS model, “Attention” and “Relevance” had a problem and “Confidence” and “Satisfaction” increased.
