卓越性の科学教育を意図したカリキュラムの構成原理序説

What is “Science for Excellence”, and how can we organize science curricula aiming for “Science for Excellence”? We employed historical and comparative approaches to solve these research questions. First, we argued that “Science for Excellence” should be regarded as one of the most important components of “Science for All”. Consequently, we proposed how to organize science curricula as follows: (1) the aims and goals of a science curriculum aiming for “Science for Excellence” should be based on the liberal arts, which aim to produce future science-literate citizens including future producers of science, (2) such science curricula should be organized by balancing contexts, processes and values, and contents. Finally, we argued that the idea of “tailor-made science education” should be discussed among science educators, including policy makers.
