The current study sought to clarify the materials provided by Genjiro Oka (1901–84), an official at the Ministry of Education in Japan, during science education reform in postwar Japan. An analysis of documentary records revealed four main findings: (1) G. Oka's private library contained 727 Japanese books and 72 foreign books. The foreign books included writings by K.M. Harkness, V.T. Edmiston and H. Heffernan. These books are thought to have been given to G. Oka by three officials at the CIE. (2) Comparing the "Course of Study in Elementary Science" (1947) compiled by the Ministry of Education with "Science in General Education" (1938) by K.M. Harkness revealed that the former writing quoted a section on evaluation from the latter writing. In addition, "Science in General Education" (1938) appears to have influenced "Objectives of Understandings" (1947) compiled by the Advisory Committee on Science Curriculum in Japan. (3) Comparing "Course of Study in Elementary Science" (1947) with "Course of Study in Elementary Science, Spokane Public Schools" (1943) written by V.T. Edmiston revealed that the educational contents from the 1st grade to the 3rd grade in the former writing were quoted from the basic science concepts of the latter writing. (4) It appears that G. Oka made use of the foreign books provided by the officials at the CIE when he compiled "Course of Study in Elementary Science" (1947) and "Objectives of Understandings" (1947).

The 377 CIE and USIS films have been preserved at Tokushima Prefectural Archives. After examining them, seven CIE films and one USIS film were found out as to science education. Comparing the CIE film "Beware of Fire" producted by Japan with "Chemistry of Fire" by U.S.A., it was found that they were excellent motion pictures from the viewpoint of science education.

1946(昭和21)年,原爆によって廃墟と化した広島において,子ども向け雑誌『銀の鈴』が広島図書より発行された。1950(昭和25)年発行の高学年用『銀の鈴・4年生』と『銀の鈴・5年生』の「りかのかんさつ・やっかいな虫」「理科図鑑一害虫をふせぐには」「りかのかんさつ・夏の星座」「夏の星座(図版)」「理科と実験・たべものと私たちのからだ」について分析したところ,これらの内容は文部省著作教科書『小学生の科学』(1949)や検定教科書『よいこのかがく』(1951)と関連づけられていることが分かった。中には,両者の教科書で指定されている学年を繰り上げて,『銀の鈴』の内容が取り上げられていたり,教科書にはない簡易実験が取り上げられている。戦後の児童用教育出版物の乏しい時代にあって,雑誌『銀の鈴』は発行期間がわずか8年間ではあったが,科学読み物として子どもを自然の世界へと誘う役割を果たしていたと考えられる。
