This course aims to deepen students' understanding of fundamental concepts, principles, and laws in mathematics education,
science and mathematics education, information education, and industrial education. It also seeks to cultivate an attitude
of utilizing mathematics for thinking and decision-making by enabling students to acquire mathematical expressions and processing
methods in these fields and to examine phenomena mathematically.
The significance of learning and teaching mathematics in junior high and high schools will be explored through discussions
grounded in each participant's perspective on mathematics, focusing on contemporary challenges in mathematics education. Particular
emphasis will be placed on examining instructional design for junior high and high school mathematics departments from the
perspective of practicing teachers, reflecting on the history of mathematics education and utilizing teaching methods and
problem-solving approaches. Furthermore, the examination will encompass a broad overview of science and mathematics education
in the broadest sense, including science and mathematics education, information education, industrial education, and STEAM
education.
Therefore, this course places emphasis on lesson study within the school setting and actively involves field visits to schools. Through these activities, the goal is to cultivate individuals capable of actively promoting curriculum design for mathematics education, science and mathematics education, information education, and industrial education that contributes to the 21st century
