Description

<p>According to the PISA 2015 international investigation, Japanese students feel the fun of science less than other countries’ students and have lower motivation for learning science. </p><p>From the course of study in upper secondary school, it is shown that teachers should emphasize the learning contents which depend on performing more positively in experiments and observations with regard to the contents of the up-to-date technology. </p><p>Therefore we carried out the DNA experiments and the Central-Dogma reproduction experiment to learn the content of the advanced science in cooperation with a university. </p><p>Our analysis of the questionnaires and students’ reports revealed that the students felt fun for science with both experiments and it seemed that there were effective measures for prod students’ interest for science. </p><p>In addition, it was suggested that the DNA experiments were effective in leading to course study and career education. And also it was suggested that the Central-Dogma reproduction experiment was more effective for 1st grade upper secondary school students who, unlike their elders, haven’t selected their subject course yet. These considerations were up from the different way of how to do these experiments.</p>
