理科教師の演技―若手中学校理科教師のオートエスノグラフィー―

抄録

This study is an autoethnography conducted by the author, a young junior high school science teacher in Japan. The focus of the study is the author’s personal experiences with “performances” (Goffman, 1959a=1974), which are known as “furi” in Japanese, in the context of school science in Japan. In this autoethnography, the author shares his experiences of adopting various roles during science classes, such as acting like a child or a scientist, and how he expresses himself as a science teacher outside of the science classroom. Through these narratives, the author delves into the nature, purpose, and meanings of the science teacher’s “furi”. The study concludes by highlighting that the purpose of these “furi” extends beyond achieving the goals of science education; they also serve to manage impressions of the science teacher, science as a subject, science, scientists, and even the science teachers themselves.
