Abstract

For this research study, which aims to clarify the actual situation and problems of science teaching, we developed a questionnaire related to the National Assessment of Academic Ability and conducted an attitude consciousness survey of lower secondary school science teachers. The results of the attitude survey showed that the instruction on “planning observations and experiments appropriately”, “finding a problem from natural things and phenomena and solving it appropriately”, “multifaceted comprehensive thinking”, and “meteorological learning” was not effective enough in terms of attitude consciousness. This result was common regardless of the area where the survey was conducted. In addition, although these results were common regardless of the number of years of teacher experience, it was found that teachers with less than 10 years of experience had less adequacy than teachers with more than 10 years.
