“Monodukuri Education” in the Elementary Educations under the Mutual Coordination between Engineers and Teachers

As one of the means to improve the number of children who do not like mathematics or science, it is necessary that there are classes to make children recognize the importance of “Monodukuri” and its social meanings. In order to realize such classes, we propose a new method of classes which are practiced under the mutual coordination between engineers and teachers. By this methods, both engineers and teachers are able to have classes with sharing the education objective, for example, to elevate the interests of children in the technology or the activity of a social contribution. We call such classes “Monodukuri Education” . In the present paper, we state the results obtained by “Monodukuri Education” , which was practiced under the cooperation of Higashihiroshima Civic Takamigaoka Elementary School, and the subjects in the next step.
