@article{oai:ipu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00000748, author = {平松, 茂 and HIRAMATSU, Shigeru}, journal = {環太平洋大学研究紀要, BULLETIN OF INTERNATIONAL PACIFIC UNIVERSITY}, month = {Mar}, note = {One of the units of the elementary school sixth-grade course of study for science is “The Moon and the Sun,” in which students are taught about the waxing and waning of the moon. However, since the actual observations conducted in these units is done at home, not only are there shortcomings in the way instruction is delivered, the high dependency on weather conditions also becomes a problem. Furthermore, as many previous studies have shown, the teaching materials in question are problematic for teachers, who find it difficult to promote understanding. This is because, although model experiments are conducted to help students visualize the phenomenon, it is difficult to deepen students’ understanding because this topic involves the concepts of time and space. In the university’s Science Teaching Methods class, which aims to train elementary school teachers, we are also continuing to explore methods of teaching that promote more effective understanding, and have repeatedly improved the teaching materials and methods used in this unit each year. This study applied the teaching methods that were developed this academic year to a university course, and in teacher training, and considered the effects of actual classes conducted with children using these methods. The results indicated that students developed a more accurate perception of the moon and sun and deepened their understanding of the reasons for the moon’s waxing and waning. There was also a greater desire to learn about the moon. It was found too that, both university students and elementary school teachers enhanced their understanding, and this lead to university students feeling more motivated about their studies, and elementary school teachers feeling more confident about their teaching.}, pages = {61--71}, title = {小学校理科で扱う月の満ち欠けの指導法の開発とその効果の検討 ― 三次元で展開される時間空間概念を育む困難さの解消を目指して ―}, volume = {18}, year = {2021}, yomi = {ヒラマツ, シゲル} }
