イギリスにおける科学技術教育の制度化(1851年-1890年)

抄録

The organisation or institutionalization of scientific and technical education in England began with some external and internal factrs as brought about by continental influences. The author discusses on the organisation or instituitionalization of scientific and technical education in England from 1851 through 1890. After the Great Exhibition in 1851 in London, some governmental departments were reorganized to promote elementary education and scientific and technical education. The newly established Department of Science and Art (DSA) provided some grants. Consequently, scientific and technical education was extended during the mid-nineteenth century. However, there were also some factors hampering the promotion of scientific and technical education such as the economic ideas, and the lack of an education system and qualified science teachers. The central government gradually recognized the need to bring the English status of science, technology and education on a par with the other continental countries and, organized some committees for scientific and technical education. Based on the surveys and recommendation by the committees, three important acts which were aimed at promoting scientific and technical education were enacted from 1870 to 1890. However, there were also some debates on modern science teaching styles during the organisation of scientific and technical education.
