Using Science Lessons to Promote Collaborative Problem Solving : Focus on the Knowledge-Constructive Jigsaw Method

Abstract

本研究の目的は，協働的問題解決を生起させる中学校理科の授業の特徴を見出すことである。そこで，「知識構成型ジグソー法」に着目して，その手法を用いた先行の授業実践の分析や文献調査によって検討して，「知識構成型ジグソー法」を用いた中学校理科授業の特徴を明らかにした。また，「知識構成型ジグソー法」を用いた授業をデザインして実践することで，その有用性を検証した。This study aimed to investigate methods promote collaborative problem solving in junior high school science classes. Our focus was on the knowledge-constructive jigsaw method. We reviewed the literature on teaching methods in science classes. In the process, we noted good examples of such methods and identified key points made by various research groups. We ran pilot classes to test the ideas we had developed as a result. We introduced the knowledge-constructive jigsaw method into teaching practice
