Youth Education that Cultivates Creativity (NEC CREATIVE EDUCATION)
NEC Teacher's Science Laboratory
Many children are moving away from science is an issue these days. To support teachers who do not like science, NEC started the science experiment class, "NEC Teachers' Science Laboratory" for teachers, with classes held for the first time to help elementary school teachers perform science experiment classes.
In collaboration with Dr. Shizuka Matsunobu, Doctor of Agriculture, and a representative of the Science Education Research Forum who performs more than 50 science experiment classes in a year mainly for public elementary and junior high schools, tips for experiment equipment management and practical experiment ideas were introduced.
This program was designed to eliminate teachers' science-is-not-the-favorite-subject feeling and prevent children from disliking science by making elementary school teachers feel "science is interesting and fun after all!"
Comments from participants
- Every single experiment was very useful for the future study and I want to try it out in my classes. Most importantly, this program inspired me.
Also, the instructor taught effective ways to use experiment instruments which was very informative. - The instructor's lecture was fun and his style of teaching reminded me that a class is not only for performing experiments and conveying knowledge to children.
- It was fun, and I discovered and realized many things. The subject was familiar to reduce hesitation toward science and get children interested.
