高等学校における地学教育の今後 : 新学習指導要領施行にあたって教育現場からの提言

その他

A new course of study was implemented in April，1994，0ne which diversifies the teaching of science into numerous classes and elective courses according to each student's interest．It does not contradict the idea that science should be an integral subject for each student's general education，but strengthens awareness about the connection between various scientific fields（such as physics IB，and earth science IB）．
The new course of study encompasses numerous disciplines and gives serious attention to each student's individual preferences．Consequently，those students who do not take an earth science course should be given the opportunity to study earth science in other science-related fields such as physics，chemistry，and biology．This idea，as prescribed by the new course of study，is a very important aspect of providing quality education for each student and should not be difficult to implement．
