Abstract

This is a thesis on the effects of teachers’ guidance on “Students’ Research Programs”. I examined how measurement training affects the method of students’ research.<BR>This training was given to students through teachers’ instructions while they were doing experiments in class. These students were in the first year of junior high school, in which there are many research activities.<BR>In the training, students were given three simple research themes and experimental materials.<BR>Students presented the results of an experiment that was done in groups of four. Due to their training, more than 60 percent of the students did some kind of measurement in their “summer vacation independent research”. This percentage is much higher than that of other grades at any time. It was found that more students than ever used their ingenuity in measuring and it was also found that their experimental methods were more diversified.<BR>Two months after the report was submitted, a survey of students’ attitudes towards scientific experiments and research was conducted. The survey shows that the students who received this training have higher interests in scientific study compared to the students who didn’t receive the training.
