A Development of the workshop program on task solving by the collaboration of primary school students

Practices and reviews of the workshop titled "Slowest Fall Challenge"

Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop the workshop program that raises primary school students' potential to solve a given task by their collaboration. Each team composed by 3 to 4 participants makes the gimmick that a wooden ball put on the upper edge of the board reaches the lower edge of it as slow as possible on the inclined pegboard. Finally, all teams collaborate to make a long slope by connecting them. We tried to clarify how their consciousness would change through this experience.
