JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present study was designed to clarify the nature of informal knowledge which children acquire through everyday life before learning fractions formally. Informal knowledge analyzed in the present investigation as knowledge of partitioning and on ratios. Two or three problems for each area were given to 187 fifth graders. Correct percentages of the partitioning problems were relatively high. In the partitioning problems two main strategies were found. The first was a strategy where all objects were divided into all persons equally. The second was strategy which children partitioned the whole as 1 to each person and then did the remaining objects according to the number of person. Correct percentages of ratio-related problems were high (68% and 83%). Two main strategies were found: The first was one where children depended upon one quantity involved in the problems. The second was a strategy where students let two quantities of the problems relate each other. These results suggest that students acquired informal knowledge necessary for understanding fractions before learning them.View full abstractDownload PDF (935K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn this study we aimed to find out students' needs for learning Kanji. We surveyed their approach towards handling Kanji; especially, what Kanji; they choose and how they learn then. The results show the following : (1) Reading Kanji is more important than writing Kanji, (2) Electronic dictionaries and word processors are predominantly consulted and used for writing Kanji, (3) Students' emphasis is on Kanji that are strongly related to their living environment. This analysis indicates that (a) Kanji used in scientific and technical papers are regarded as everyday Kanji, (b) their selection of Kanji is very restricted, and (c) electronic media including word processors are a useful tool for learning Kanji. These points should also be incorporated in teachers' selection and teaching of Kanji. Some ideas for establishing an effective method of teaching Kanji to non-Kanji background graduate course students who want to learn scientific and technical Japanese at an early stage of schooling are suggested.View full abstractDownload PDF (1252K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn England, in the mid - 19 th century, science gained rapid popularity due to several reasons. Among them were (1) increased understanding of natural science, (2) increased importance of learning technology and science as a consequence of the advent of social industrialization resulting from the industrial revolution, and (3) active support of the country for the development of science and technology. However, there was still a neglect of science education. Generally, there existed a predominant bias toward humanism and against technology. Although the practical value was obvious in science, the viewpoint that in general education it has no cultural and training value was tenacious. These were the major causes for the neglect of science education. In reply to these objections, the advocators of science education argued that the introduction of science education in the school education could result in providing enlightenment on understanding and recognition of the educational value of science education in general education and character formation. This series of events, which played a major role in the successful formation of science education was, in other words, a movement for developing a new humanism in school education.View full abstractDownload PDF (1378K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA visualized DA and AD conversion device for teaching equipment has been developed. The authors have experimentally tried to make evaluations applying the device to practical lessons in junior high school. The device consists of a 4 - bit DA converter and a comparator with operational amplifiers. The students could understand visually the digital values (with binary numbers) corresponding to analog values (with decimal ones) through turning the light emitting diodes (LEDs) on and off according to the BASIC commands or programs. The authors have found the device effective for assisting the students in understanding the correspondence through the experimental lessons.View full abstractDownload PDF (896K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe 21 st Annual Meeting of Japan Society for Science Education was successfully held on July 29-31, 1997 at Ibaraki University, Mito, Japan, with over 350 registrants. Under the main theme, "Towards Critical Reconstruction of Science Education Research," over 220 papers were presented. Among them, the steering committee under the supervision of the Board of JSSE, set one main symposium, one evening forum, and 12 special sessions (Kadai Kenkyu). This is the series of summary of the discussions in the sessions, each of which is compiled by respective organizers.View full abstractDownload PDF (1526K) -
