Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to find ways of learning support which have an effect on students learning, and, which moreover improve teachers'ability on the basis of some cases of nature experience-based study programs at school. I patternized the learning support for nature experience-based study programs, and evaluated the effect on students and teachers through the practice of each pattern of learning support. I divided the learning support into three patterns according to the 'learning support level', and named each pattern pattern I-pattern III in order of support level. I further divided pattern II in two, pattern II-1 and II-2, according to the interaction between learning supporters and teachers in instruction. I also carried out two practices of learning support pattern II (II-1, II-2), and evaluated the effect on students and teachers provided by the learning support. Moreover, I examined the relations between each pattern of learning support and teacher development. The result, shows that learning support pattern II has a marked effect on students, learning and, moreover, on development of teachers'ability.
