Abstract

Recently, the Japanese government is planning to develop science communicators. A science teacher might be a science communicator for students at school. But s/he is not a science communicator for their parents. The purpose of this case study is to develop a good practice for an in-service training for a science teacher to acquire competence as a science communicator for the parents, and assess the development of her competency as a science communicator. This practice is developed in partnership with science museum staff, university staff, and a junior high school science teachers. The practice has four phases : (a) indoor training at museum, (b) outdoor training, (c) discussion of the teaching plan for "Katei-Kyouiku-Gakkyu" (Home Education Class : Japanese popular educational activities for students' parents held at schools) by a junior high school science teacher, and (d) implementation of "Katei-Kyouiku-Gakkyu." These phases were designed to cultivate a teacher's pedagogical content knowledge of teaching parents in the school. According to the result of assessment a science teacher developed as a science communicator successfully.
