エネルギー·物質分野における工学教育の入り口としての中学技術の重要性と理科との連携

抄録

In order to cultivate the resources and capacities of the secondary school students who will become to sustain the development of the modern technologies, we need to emphasize the importance of engineering in both the science course and the industrial arts course. While the two subjects have their own typical topics, they also have many contents in common. The difference is the viewpoint that the science places stress on fundamental theories, and the industrial arts, applications. We have developed two unique educational systems, one is the Unit Block System and the other is Parallel Selective Topic Method. By introducing the information on engineering into the science course and by adopting the above two new methods mainly for the topics in energy and material fields, we succeeded to attract more intention from the students.
