Framework of TEIKEI Elements in a Model-based Learning for Chemistry in Secondary Education: Application for a Round of Activities of the Experiment in Chemistry

Abstract

The present study developed a new scheme of model-based learning in chemistry education and extracted units of a round of activities of experiments in chemistry, aiming to foster competencies expected in the discipline. These units consist essentially of modeling, experiment plan, verification, and report writing. Applying the idea of TEIKEIBUN (fixedly-formed sentence), elements of the modeling were fixedly-formed and the relationships between the elements of modeling, and the experiment plan and the items used in the report writing were shown. As a challenging issue, the study has revealed that a change in perspectives is necessary for individual topics and a theme, which is the underlying main idea among similar topics.
