Science Literacyis needed

in the 21st Century

Science Literacy

• Science Council of Japan set out recommendations for what all students should know and be able to do in STEM by the time they graduate from high school (SCJ, 2008).

• Science-for-All-Japanese should be laid the groundwork for the nationwide science standards.

3

Learning

• Not only an individual work• Occurs in a collaborative work

• Shifting the emphasis– From knowledge acquisition– To project-based leaning

4

Current status

• Not widely spread in Japan– Science Literacy– Project-based learning

5

Public-Private Partnership

is the key

Goals

• Disseminate – Science-for-All-Japanese

• Promote– Project-based learning for the 21st century

in elementary and secondary schools• Facilitate

– Collaboration among industry, schools, and the government

7

Action• Publish

– Science-for-All-Japanese for STEM teachers, students, and general public

• Introduce– leading project-based learning cases to high schools

• Start– a new science fair in Japan

• Unify– the vast information of science fairs in Japan

• Network– the people and cultivating the community

For SustainableLearning Innovation

• Through– Science-for-All-Japanese– Project-based learning

• In– Schools– Organizations– Society as a whole

High Level Goals• What do you want to accomplish for your school,

region or country? Look at long-term (3-5 years) and short-term goals (1-2 years)

　　　 ・ Long term goals– Disseminate “Science Literacy for All

Japanese”– Promote project-based learning for the 21st

century in elementary and secondary schools

– Promote cooperation among industry, schools, and the government

– Create “cool” scientific heroes/heroines (“Young Scientist Awards” from Japanese students!)

High Level Goals (cont.)• What do you want to accomplish for your

school, region or country? Look at long-term (3-5 years) and short-term goals (1-2 years)

• Short term goals–Make “Science for All Japanese”

easy-to-understand to students and science teachers

–Introduce leading project-based learning cases to high schools

–Start a new science fair in Japan–Unification of the vast information

about a lot of science fairs in Japan

13

Objectives• How will you know you succeeded?

• In addition to the current “Science for All Japanese,” new brief handbooks about “Science for All Japanese” are made and used in schools for project-based learning under public-private partnership.

• Using leading project-based learning cases at Future University-Hakodate, schools in Hakodate City change their education into project-based in collaboration with Intel Teach.

• Ministry of Education and Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) increase the number of projects for disseminating the experiences of project-based learning in Super Science High Schools to other local schools (increase by more than 10% each year)

• Japanese Government starts financial support for starting a new science fair in Japan.

• Students can easily find the opportunities for many science fairs all over the country (held by private companies, governments, academia, etc.) if they refer the lists using online.

Intel ISEF Educator AcademyReflection • As a result of your participation in the 2010

Educator Academy, reflect on your experience – Highlight what your team felt was the key learning from

the Educator Academy• Having strong cooperation with media is a key to increase the

popularity of science fairs (ex. Costa Rica).• Some countries have succeeded in establishing public-private

partnership (ex. China).• U.S. Intel ISEF alumni have intelligence, smartness, and the

passion (we are impressed by the shop talk of Mr. Stephen Trusheim).

• “If I act, I can change the world!”• Intel invests a lot of money for educating next-generation.

17

Intel ISEF Educator Academy (cont.)Reflection

– Which Shop Talks were the most beneficial for your team?

• Sheila Porter from Ireland, Theresa Clark from Arizona: passionate and sustainable activities

• Mary Helen Bialas from Costa Rica• Stephen Trusheim from Minnesota• Carol Qin from China

– What types of Shop Talks were missing?• Hope to have 30 minutes for interactive activity in each talk.• Should make target audience more clear in advance• Also we want to know other governments’ approaches and

other companies’ CSR activities.
