This study purports to reveal incipient scientific thinking observed in children’s daily plays which bring forth their interest in things and phenomena, and lead them to pursuing their spontaneous approaches to problems and questions.The author let preschool five-year-old children take part in sandbox play, soap bubble play, playing in the water color and mud ball play. I came to the following conclusion after analyzing children’s utterances and conversations during these plays.(1) I observed a lot of “temporary expression utterances” in sandbox play, soap bubble play, and playing in the water color. They are suitable teaching materials for developing incipient scientific thinking. In mud ball play, children make more utterances for building good friendly relations and cooperation than the utterances which cultivate incipient scientific thinking. The play is appropriate for building children’s social skills.(2) In mud-box play and color-water play, “temporary expression utterances” are often made. These plays are appropriate for cultivating awareness which will make up a significant part of the basic incipient scientific thinking itself. In mud ball play, on the other hand, “fundamental scientific utterances” often are made. It is a suitable play for nourishing incipient scientific thinking, while in soap bubble play, children often make “temporary expression utterances” and “fundamental scientific utterances”.

これまで行われた諸調査によって、方位磁針の適切な操作方法を身に付けていない子どもたちが多いことが指摘されている。本研究では、その要因と考えられる問題点を克服することを目的とした教材を開発するとともに、それらを活用した指導方法を考案し、授業実践を通してその学習効果について検証した。その結果、開発した教材ならびに考案した指導法は方位磁針の操作方法についての指導に有効であることがわかった。一方、正しく操作できているにもかかわらず方位を正しく読み取れないなどの課題があることがわかった。
