    It is very important to understand how to handle students who display a high degree of interest and ability in mathematics from the viewpoint of not only developing the individual student but also with the perspective of fostering leaders for the future science and technological society. In this article, the United States, Russia, Korea, Singapore, Hungary, the Netherlands and Finland are chosen for comparing international trends in teaching mathematics and overall educational trends for developing creativity. An analysis of the mathematics curricula and teaching methods, policy background and societal influences on special mathematics schools/classes, individually-targeted curricula and student support programs in these countries suggests the following examples are significant in developing creativity : 1) to emphasize solving real world mathematical problems and modeling in mathematics lessons of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in the U.S. and the A-lympiad contest in the Netherlands; 2) to assess the aptitude of students who enter special mathematics programs in Singapore, Korea, the United States and Russia; 3) to co-operate between schools and other facilities, such as between schools and the community in Russia, schools and mathematics contests in Hungary, schools, universities and institutions in Korea, and schools and institutes in the Netherlands.

    The purpose of this study was to reconsider the science curriculum for children aged 5-10 in Japan on the basis of a comparison of the different scopes and sequencing in the Science Education Standards, textbooks, and projects between Japan and the U.S. In this study, we found that there was no common rationale which specifically justified the grade level objectives in the Science Education Standards in both the U.S. and Japan. Japanese early childhood education has always given priority to integrated learning and attached importance to children's development through collaboration among themselves. However, this early childhood education emphasizes empathy or self-experimentation rather than intellectual learning which tends to be considered the domain of literacy and numeracy, not science. This paper discusses early childhood science education according to Japanese and the U.S. Science Education Standard descriptors and concludes that science education should commence in early childhood education and that a Japanese science curriculum which combines both scientific understanding of activities as well as free-experimentation may be beneficial.

    This paper describes the development of various learning environments using GC/Java : Java applet based on Geometric Constructor (dynamic geometry software). Many Java applets based on dynamic geometry software (cabrijava, JavaSketchPad, etc.) can be used only as a viewer. We can use GC/Java not only as a viewer, but also as a learning environment for the dynamic investigation of figures. We can use it to construct a new figure, deform, measure, edit and save it in the same way as with GC/Win. We developed some server side applications and plug-in softwares. The combination of such softwares and GC/Java creates various learning environments (GC_BBS, PukiWiki with GC, etc.). The next task is the development of systematic contents using these learning environments.

    In this study, we have enhanced a concept mapping software for reconstructing learning processes. The new function is the bookmarking function. This function enables the user to mark a point of choice in the concept mapping process and saves that point on the computer. The software is expected to further support learners' reflection and dialogue as follows : (1) provides easier access to the chosen focusing points in the thinking process, (2) facilitates self-awareness of the learner's thinking process by playing back only the bookmarked point, and (3) supports the learner in explaining his/her thinking process to others by playing back only the bookmarked point. To evaluate the effectiveness of the software, we conducted an experiment in laboratory settings. The results of (a) measurements of time to display the points, (b) analysis of utterances in explaning the thinking process, (c) a questionnaire-based survey show that the bookmarking function provides easier access to focusing points, facilitates self-awareness of the thinking process and supports explaining the thinking process to others.

    Teaching Units were introduced into the didactical practice of mathematization by E. Wittmann. The Teaching Units, however, have only a synchronic design on teaching mathematics, but lack a diachronic design, although mathematization is a cognitive process of systematization. The main purpose of this research is to develop a theoretical framework for the diachronic part of Teaching Units. For this purpose, we here proposed the Separation Model of Generalization based on Dorfler's generalization theory and model. We also developed "Star Patterns" as a new Teaching Unit according to its conditions. Furthermore, a learning trajectory was designed on the basis of our generalization model, and was used experimentally in class. Finally, its learning effectiveness was evaluated.

    The purpose of this study is to develop learning materials for pupils to foster scientific thinking skills in school science. In this paper, the authors described two cases of primary school science lessons involving the processes of constructing mental models of their own ideas and discussing intensively which one is the most plausible model in a group or whole class at fifth and sixth grade levels in different schools. Invisible gases like carbon dioxide and air were introduced as the subject in these lessons. Almost all pupils could construct visible mental models in both cases. Most of the 5th graders and half of the 6th graders had misconceptions about gases at the beginning of the lesson. Judging from their essays on their impressions and reflections on the lessons, they enjoyed doing the experiments on handling of gases, constructing visible models from invisible phenomena, and understanding the concept of gas. After both lessons, students were given a questionnaire to survey their recognition of ways of looking at things scientifically. As a result, it may be said that learning materials using invisible gases are very effective to achieve these objectives.

    The purpose of this study was to review research in computer usage for science education in order to clarify recent trends. A newly emerging area of research in computer usage for education is called CSCL. CSCL is the initial of Computer Support for Collaborative Learning. First, we made an overview of the development of this emerging area. Second, we confirmed that research of CSCL is progressing gradually in the field of science education research by analysing of articles in international and Japanese journals on science education. Third, we showed concrete examples of CSCL research from the viewpoint of how it supports the learning. Finally, we discussed prospects for future research on CSCL and their implications for science education.

    The concept of the "amount of substance" occupies an important position in modern chemistry for a good understanding of the quantitative relations in chemical reactions. However, the concept is very difficult for senior high school students to understand. Although several teaching aids have been reported by several school teachers and science education researchers in order to provide a better understanding of the concept, it is well known that Japanese high school students do not like the learning content related to the unit "mole". In this study, we first carried out an investigation of teachers and students in order to find out how the "amount of substance" was introduced in their chemistry classrooms. Secondly, we tried the introduction and development of the term "molarity" in relation to "neutralization reaction" in junior high school science. An appropriate treatment of the "amount of substance" is proposed by considering the above results; it is also discussed that introducing particle pictures is important to realize the concept of "unt of substance".
