Great Teacher Seminar 2020: Workshop 2 “Turning Everyday Wonder Into Scientific Adventure”

Have you ever thought that curry can be a meaningful research topic? Yes, everything around us can be a great subject for research. At Leave a Nest, we believe by doing research, it will create Waku-waku or excitement to the students which will lead into the exploration and understanding about science.

To start the research, students need to identify their own big question and curiosity from their surrounding and get the answer by conducting research. With support from their teachers, students can create research project from their own curiosity and question. Teachers and parents need to have the skill to trigger students to find their own big question and support the research project.

For teachers to have the skills, we will conduct a workshop during GREAT TEACHER SEMINAR 2020 event with the title ‘Turning Everyday Wonder Into Scientific Adventure’. The objective of this workshop is to introduce a Leave a Nest approach using Research Based Education (RBE) to equip teachers with the skills and know-how to support students in creating science research projects. This workshop will be conducted by Dr. Satomi Maeda from Leave a Nest Education Research Center, Japan.
