工学教育への夢と子どもたちの科学のひろば

抄録

The problems faced in the educational field for engineering are a small birth rate and a low priority ranking for engineering among young people. These tendency makes a decrease in the level of student’s studying skill and motivation to the field of engineering. The Center for Innovation and Creativity Development of Tokushima University investigates creative method for students and helps students’ independent activity. They develop their creative skill through their group activities. Especially, they can steadily improve their knowledge of science in the process of teaching several scientific works for the children. By the experience of these activities, we realized that the education from the children age is efficient for raising a motivation to science and engineering. According to the foundation of “Science and Engineering Network, Tokushima” as a Nonprofit Organization, the activity is now spreading among children and their parents.
