Abstract
In this paper, the authors attempted to discuss science education prepared by the Chinese Normal Department of (old) Waseda University for the chinese students started in 1905. The following results were found in this study:(1) The Chinese Normal Department, being a special educational institution that simulated the conditions of China, had concentrated on training science teachers who upon graduation would return to China to contribute to the promotion of science education. (2) Comparing the objectives of the training programs for teachers of Physics-Chemistry and Natural History with that of Tokyo Higher Normal School, the Chinese Normal Department seemingly had stressed the teaching of scientific knowledge over the teaching of professional knowledge. (3) The department had employed professors and graduates as lecturers from Tokyo Imperial University. They had conducted experiments in the fields of Physics-Chemistry Studies and Nature History Studies, and (old) Waseda University had arranged the enviroment, for experimental activities in financial difficulties.
