変革をもたらすコンピテンシーを育む家庭科の教材開発 : 豆は未来を救えるか

本研究では、食料危機という地球規模の課題を考えるために、およそ一万年前から栽培され食料として人類を支えてきた「豆」に注目し、自然生態系の転換と環境問題・食料問題を理解し、食のサスティナビリティを考えさせることで、変革をもたらすコンピテンシーを育むのに効果的な家庭科の授業モデルを構築し実践を行った。「豆」を中心にした一連の実践により、汎用性の高い資質・能力を育むための礎を築くことができたと考える。

In this study, to consider the global issue of food crisis, we focused on beans that have been cultivated for approximately 10,000 years. Beans have supported human beings by providing food and have developed an effective home economics class model to foster competencies to bring about change by having students consider the transformation of natural ecosystems, environmental issues, food problems, and food sustainability. We developed and implemented a lesson model for home economics that is effective in fostering competencies to bring about change. Through a series of practices centering on “beans,” we believe that we were able to lay the foundation for developing highly versatile qualities and abilities.
