大学院生の科学コミュニケーション能力向上に向けた課題解決型学習の試み

抄録

This paper reports a project-based learning (PBL) program for graduate students to develop science communication skills. To achieve this, the program made graduate students majoring in control engineering designed about an educational experiment system to understand the concept of control technique for elementary and junior high school pupils. As a result, they designed an educational program using a single-degree-of-freedom helicopter model. This program was carried out in the “youngsters’ science festival” which is regional science festival. In addition, they summarized the details of the system and the responses of participants and presented at a conference on control, measurement and system integration. Through this PBL program, the students could develop their science communication skills by themselves.
