    Deficiencies in traditional science education have been pointed out. They are failures in teaching uncertainties in science and technology and two faces of technology, both good and bad. Literacy in science and technology is interpreted as thinking and behaving in scientific ways after knowing those essential points. Some ways of fostering such abilities are discussed.

    New software has been developed which can simulate the appearance of the moon and the sun. By inputting the latitude of the place and the date of observation, this program can give the exact shape of the moon and the position of the sun as they are actually seen. Using this software, teaching materials have been produced for use in Japanese schools which are now established all over the world. These schools are often provided with textbooks prepared in Japan, but the actual shape and position of the moon and sun may vary greatly from the information provided in these books, depending on the point of observation. This software has also been used as a tool in the investigation work in science classroom.

    Since Science, Technology, and Society (STS) was established as a new emphasis for science education in the United States, STS has challenged traditional instructional strategies which science teachers have used. Recently, in Japanese science education societies, the STS approach has been discussed often. However, there was no information concerning science teachers' perception of global problems related to science and technology, which is one aspect of the STS theme, and the STS approach. So we conducted the survey to clarify the following: (1) the goals which Japanese science teachers see as important; (2) their perceptions of science and technology related global problems; (3) the current situation of teaching about global problems and science teachers' opinions on teaching about global problems; (4) their opinions on the possibility of implementing STS in Japan. The results of this survey indicate that Japanese science teachers think that the goals of development of process skills and development of problem solving and decision making abilities are important goals in science education, as well as the goal of acquisition of scientific knowledge. And they support the teaching of science and technology related global problems and the STS implementation. At the same time, several problems on STS implementation in Japan were pointed out by them. So, several resolutions for these problems were recommended.

    In order for personal computers (PCs) to have greater utility in the classroom, it is necessary to design the software of educational tools with unrestricted content and usage. These tools should be easily accessable in the classroom. The authors have developed several software tools for teaching and learning, including a graphic processer, a statistical graphics maker, spreadsheet, database, and a learning card that can be used for teachers' instructional use and for aiding students' learning activities. Materials data for the software tools has been added so that they can be utilized on networks, CD-ROM, Magnetic Optical(MO) disk, and others. This paper reports on the use of these tools in the classroom and briefly describes each tool.

    By accessing the ERIC database, some of the literature on American science education were analyzed according to the information accompanying each record. The characteristics of this research were analyzed and trends identified. It was found that: Physics and chemistry education are more distinctive than biology and earth science education in core journals; the NSF is the top sponsoring agency in all categories; the amount of research on science education decreased slightly in the 1980s; NSF-sponsored research is on the decline, but sponsorship has remained constant because of increasing sponsorship by other agencies; the research on physics education and the research on chemistry education is similar; and the research on secondary science education is more advanced than that on elementary science education.
