Abstract
Since 2010, the JSQC TQE Special Committee has been working to popularize “the scientific problem-solving method” in school education as a means of fostering “zest for life”, “acknowledge yourself”, and “joy in life”. For promoting this dissemination as All Japan, we held and co-hosted various symposiums, and released best practices videos for problem solving and TQM. Thanks to the Ministry of Education and academic societies, a “data utilization” area was added to the 2017 revised curriculum guidelines in elementary school mathematics and junior high school mathematics.In high school Mathematics I, the idea of hypothesis testing has been added to “data analysis” and “problem solving in the information society” has been added to Information I which has become a new compulsory subject. However, there is still a gap between the actual state and the scientific problem-solving method that this committee aims for. For overcoming this issue, we will look back on our activities and describe future challenges.
