Abstract
Aiming to foster competencies expected in chemistry education, experimental lessons with model-based learning for chemistry were implemented. The study verified how competencies expected in the discipline were fostered with respect to the practices of instructions, practice, and evaluation, through implementing lessons with and without focus on model-based learning. The mutual evaluation table (Goto, 2013) was used for evaluating the practice, mainly looking at the description written in the discussion part of students’ reports. Verification of the practice was based on the curriculum management model for science lessons (Goto and Matsubara, 2015). The experimental lessons demonstrated revealed what kind of impacts and challenges exist for practicing model-based learning for future implementation.
