Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to make clear the relationship between students' motivation for learning and their career development in the case of Kobe Harbor Polytechnic College. The scale of motivation for learning was measured by a survey that was carried out on 73 Polytechnic students. Also, career development was investigated in the same survey by using a scale of career development (Sakayanagi 1999). As a result, four factors were found in students' motivation for learning, as follows: "expectation of specialty development", "expectation of acquiring practical skills", "expectation of good relationship with teachers", and "expectation of good relationship with friends". Students were divided into two groups by their career goals! one was a group of students who wanted to work in the harbor industry, and the other was a group of students who did not. The relationship Between students' motivation for learning and their career development were examined by using multi-regression analysis of each group. As a result, both "concern about their own career" and "plans for their own career" were influenced by "expectation of specialty development" and "expectation of good relationship with teachers" in the group of students who wanted to work in the harbor industry. From these results, it was suggested that students' aspiration to an occupation had an important role in forming the relationship between motivation for learning and career development in this case.

Abstract

As one of the optional classes in the general course in the high schools of Category III, we tried practicing experiments on the subject of the combination of science and technology. The purpose of this trial is for students to learn science and refined scientific skills, which is the basis of technology. For example of this, the high Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-δ is synthesized and typical superconducting properties such as zero-resistance, Meissner effect (flux expulsion) are learnt. Synthesis includes weighing original materials and the repeated process of molding and sintering. With strong motivation to observe the magnetic levitation of what they synthesized themselves, students are very much encouraged by their curiosity, resulting in the strong concentration on this task. Students found their own way in the course of the molding process, and proposed their own ideas for improvement of magnetic levitation of a rare earth-based magnet. Our next plan for this practice is to establish an automatic measurement system as a target of quantitative measurement of the properties of high Tc superconductors.

キーワード：学びの共同体，自主的研究会，技術教育関連イベント

Abstract

I performed a study of members' participation in technology instructor study groups and events related of subject education. It became clear that within technology and home economics, which are subjects in which placement of multiple instructors at one school is difficult, the role of independent study groups is significant and that study group participation results in the sharing of information and the invigoration of the subject education. Similarly, study groups also effectively serve to assure instructor quality for new instructors and students aspiring to be instructors.

Title: A Qualitative Research of Forming Student Evaluation of Products and Skills in Industrial Education at Junior High School
Author: Kouji MATSUSHITA Tetsuya UJIKE

題目：中学生の「ものづくり」と技術に対する評価観の形成に関する質的研究
−技術科教育における質的研究法を用いた研究視点抽出と実践研究の試み−

キーワード：技術科教育、ものづくり、質的研究法、実践研究、評価観

Abstract

At Preliminary to this study, we qualitatively researched students' activities while making chopsticks in industrial education classes at Junior High School. As a result of this preliminary research, we found that students were concerned about the straight form and smooth touch of their products,chopsticks, and we found that students didn't have a diversity of evaluation points regarding their products. During the next phase of this study, we used a questionnaire on students' evaluations of their products, shishi-odoshi. As a result, we found that students' ambiguous evaluation points became concrete and were in focus through the production process, and this affects their evaluation of products and how they introduce students into products at the beginning of a unit in industrial education.
