A Study on Improving Secondary School Students' Life Skills: In Teaching Practice on Food Additive to 9th Grade

本研究の目的は，近年の輸入食品の増加による食の安全性への不安や，外食や既製食品に頼る食生活の増加といった傾向にある食スタイルを見直し，成長期である中学生にとって望ましい食生活を確立するためのスキルを高める指導の実践を検証することである。ライフスキルの向上とQOL（生活の質）を高めるためには，安全でバランスの良い食事が大切であり，幼少期から望ましい食生活についての知識や態度を確立する必要がある。そこで，食生活が乱れがちになると思われる中学3年生の生活実態調査から見える生活課題に目を向け，自分自身の食生活を振り返らせるとともに，成長期における食習慣の課題解決のための保健指導を実施した。この学習により，自分の食生活を振り返り，より望ましい食への意識を高めることで，自らのライフスキルを構築する基礎を培うことが出来ると考えられた。The purpose of this study is to examine the effects on teaching practice, in order to improve students' view of food consumption, which is concerned with the safety of imported food and which relies on dining-out and ready-made food, and in order to establish better students' food consumption for their developmental stage. To improve life skills and Quality of Life (=QOL), it is crucial to have safe and balanced food and develop knowledge and attitude of better food consumption from young age. Therefore, the author focused on the 9th grade whose eating habits tend to get unhealthy, according to the survey of their life style, had students reconsider their food consumption and gave them a health guidance to improve their eating habits. In the teaching practice, students reconsidered their eating habits and gain basic knowledge on components of their own life skills, by developing their attitudes towards better food consumption

A Study of How to Improve Junior High School Students' Subjective Perspectives on Health : Focusing on Their Quality of Life in Terms of Relationship Between Their Living Habits and Hypothermia

本研究の目的は，近年，子どもたちに増加している低体温症と生活習慣の因果関係に着目させ，生徒自身に主観的健康観を意識させ，QOL（生活の質）の向上を目指すものである。そこで，現9年生に昨年度実施した，「主観的健康観と生活実態調査」をもとに，食生活の項目についての健康観と食に対する意識について分析した。その結果分析から見えてきた健康に対する生徒の意識や，生活課題を解決する方策の一つとして，今年度は「低体温」と「食習慣」の関わりに焦点をあてて保健指導を実施した。この学習を通して，生徒の多くは，自らの健康と生活習慣の関わりについて意識することができ，今後の生活に対して自分の生活目標を持ち，自らのQOLを高めようとする意欲が向上したと考える。The purpose of this study is to make students become aware of the causal relationship between hypothermia and their living habits in order to improve their quality of life. Recently, the number of cases of hypothermia has been increasing among students. Therefore, this study examined 9th grade students' subjective health and their senses of food based on a survey conducted last year about their subjective health and current living conditions. In addition, health instruction was implemented to improve students' senses of health and their problems associated with daily life focusing on hypothermia and eating habits. Through this instruction, students tended to be aware of relationships between their health and eating habits, have goals for their future life, and improve their quality of life

Relationship between medical examination methods and actual conditions of life for preserving visual acuity in primary and junior high school: Verification of the current vision test

The deterioration of children’s eyesight is on the rise. Children's lives have changed in a short period of time, such as an increase in blue light due to the use of electronic devices. It is necessary to consider non traditional content of health guidance for prevention. The accurate visual acuity test is important to examine the effects of visual acuity and environmental or living factors. We examined the accuracy of the visual acuity test with the three-stage Landolt ring for children from the relationship with the eye axial length. After performing a normal detailed visual acuity test of the children and the correlation analysis with the eye axial length, we examined the distribution of t he eye axis according to the results of the three stage visual acuity test by the Landolt ring The number of children measured eye axial length was 13. The correlation coefficient between detailed visual acuity test and eye axial length was negative. Ac cording to the results of the three-stage visual acuity test, the distribution of the eye axis is good for the right eye: the average eye axis of “A” was 23.44 mm, moderate: the average of “B” was 22.58 mm. The average of the left eye axis for “A” children is 23.34 mm, for “B” is 23.08 mm, and for “C” is 23.7 mm. The correlation coefficient between the detailed visual acuity test and the eye axial length was negative on both sides, namely a negative correlation between the visual acuity and the eye axial length. There was a possibility of not correspondence between the three-stage visual test and theeye axial length. In the case of children, it was considered that their visual performance and answers were different because of their mood and physical condition on the day

Consider the guidance of the way on radiation and health in kindergarten, elementary and junior high schools consistently: Efforts on radiation education based on viewpoints of health education and science education

平成23年の東日本大震災による福島第一原発事故の災害により，福島県民の健康不安や周りの者からの風評被害が社会問題となり，教育現場においてもいじめなどの深刻な人権問題が生じた。そのことから，今後は，子ども達の放射線に関する基礎的知識の習得，放射線に関する課題についての思考・判断能力の育成が求められると考えられる。 本研究では，発達段階の違いを考慮した上で，実態に即した学習内容を検討するために小学６年生と中学３年生に「放射線に関する認識について」の調査を実施し，実態を比較検討した。その調査結果から，放射線についての教育プログラムを開発検討するにあたり，放射線についての正しい知識を身につけ，より実生活と結びついた教育内容を展開する必要があると考えた。研究結果として，小学６年生と中学３年生では放射線に関する認識・知識に大きな差が見られなかったことから，小学６年生と中学３年生の児童生徒が合同で放射線に関する学習プログラムを展開し，発達段階の異なる者同士が意見交換をしながら思考・判断能力を育むという，学習の相乗効果を見込んだ働きかけも可能であると考えられた。Due to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident due to the Great East Japan Great Earthquake of 2011, damage caused by Fukushima citizen's health and rumors became a social problem and human rights problems such as bullying also occurred in the educational setting. From that, it is required to acquire basic knowledge on children's radiation and to develop thought / judgment abilities. In this research, we aimed to develop radiation education programs by conducting a survey on "radiation recognition perception" in elementary and junior high school students and junior high school graders. As a result, since there was no significant difference in elementary and junior high school students' recognition and knowledge, we thought that synergistic effects of learning can be expected by developing a learning program that elementary school students and junior high school students can jointly perform

Investigation of guidance on maintaining visual acuity at combined school from kindergarten to junior high school.: Consideration of relationship between visual acuity and lifestyle

The negative effect of visual acuity for growing children led by widely use of IC device such as mobile phone is concerned today. Heavy use of electronic device such as PC in early age will bring poor visual acuity, and an inconvenience in exercise caused by wearing glasses. In this study, we used wearable devise to search relations between daily lives of children and a decrease in vision in add to a preexisting questionnaire. Compared with the duration of watching TV and reading books of PVA( Poor visual acuity) and NPVA(Non poor visual acuity), PVA students were turned out to be using more time in doing, which supports previous studies. The relevance to visual acuity and sleep was clarified to be significantly shorter in NPVA in terms of nocturnal awakening, and also the average of a sleep and a deep sleep duration were longer in NPVA. No significant difference was observed due to the small parameter. From now on, the further work is needed to examine child's sleep conscientiously, including enriching health guidance for sight maintenance

Radiation and Health in Kindergarten, Elementary, and Junior High Schools Consistently : Efforts to Enhance Health and Environmental Awareness from the Perspective of Health and Science Education

原発災害等による放射能に対する健康不安や風評対策として，平常時から子どもが安全な環境や，放射線についての知識や判断の仕方，身の回りの安全な生活について学習しておく必要性が高いと考え，本研究では，安全な環境や放射線についての正しい認識を深める学習のあり方を検討することを目的とした。 理科教育と保健指導の連携によって，本校の中学３年生に「放射線学習・放射線と健康」の指導を行い，指導の前後で評価した。実際の実践は，理科分野では中学生の放射線に対する科学的な認識を育成するために環境測定を実施し，データの集積や実験を通して科学的な根拠に基づいた学習を展開した。また,学校保健分野では保健指導として，理科で学習した知識を活かして日常生活や健康との関連を考えさせ，環境の変化に伴う生活・健康課題の改善を図るために自分で情報を収集する手段について指導した。理科と学校保健が連携した指導は，知識と実生活を結びつけ，よりよく生きようという生きる力を育む教育となると考えられた。今後は，学校保健と社会科や技術家庭科との連携も充実させることで，更に効果的な学習と成りえる。The purpose of this study was to consider instructions for maintaining a safe environment and correct awareness of radiation. Lessons on “Knowledge of Radiation” and “Radiation and Health” were given to ninth-grade students. Effects of learning were evaluated before and after classes. Teachers made students put environmental measurement to cultivate their scientific knowledge of radiation in science classes. Classes also addressed the scientific basis through data and experiments. In school health field, teachers asked students to consider relationships between daily life and health, using knowledge learned in science classes. Moreover, teachers guided the students’ means of collecting information to improve their daily life and ability to deal with health problems in the event of environmental changes. The instruction that linked science with school health tied daily lives to scientific knowledge. This instruction can make a contribution to an education that develops a “Zest for Living”. In the future, this instruction can be more effective by incorporating school health into social studies, industrial arts and homemaking

Safety education in school based on the report of the Central Educatio Council : The systematic school hygiene safety sducation connected with body,mind,food and nutrition in a kindergarten, an elementary school, an junior high school

近年,大規模な自然災害や子どもが被害者となる事件や事故,災害が多発している。また,子どもの健康課題は多様化・深刻化しており,食教育の在り方が問われている。そこで本研究では,家庭での保護者の意識や教育力を把握し,分析した結果とその後の実践を示すことにした。その結果,家庭で事故やけがに関する会話をよくしている生徒ほど,事故やけがに対する関心が高いことが分かった。食の安全については,保護者・生徒ともに意識が高いが,生徒は意識や知識があってもそれを実際の生活に生かすことは難しい状況にあり,学校で学習したことを実際の生活に生かしていくことができるよう,幼少期から継続して指導を行うことで行動変容を促すことに繋がると考えられる。今後は,子どもたちが主体的に身の回りの危険や状況を判断し,行動できるよう日常の保育教科学習を見据えた取り組みをしていく。そのために子どもたちの発達段階に即した幼少中一貫のモデルプランを開発していきたい
