The purpose of this research was to examine the teaching effect of using a "Multi-view VR Teaching Material of the Solar System". The teaching experiment was conducted with elementary and high school students. The result shows that the VR Teaching Material improved the interest and attitude of the elementary school students. In addition, it was shown that when the VR Teaching Material was used as an introduction, the level of understanding improved. Moreover, high school students obtained a similar learning effect, regardless of the use of the VR Teaching Material. In addition, we suggeste that the VR Teaching Material improves the level of understanding of elementary school students, and high school students with low learning capacity.

Science and technology have continued to become more diversified in recent years, leading to further promotion of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and to advances that can be incorporated into science education. The Office for the Next Generation (ONG) was founded in 2011 at the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS), the University of Tokyo, to promote STEM education through outreach programs in collaboration with various industries. In this paper, we present several outreach programs designed and conducted by the ONG. The collaborative university/industry programs aim to encourage students in primary and secondary schools to deepen their understanding of STEM as well as the social roles and significance of science and technology. One of the goals of our outreach programs has been the development of a series of lectures by IIS professors and teaching materials such as experiment kits and visual materials based on the lectures. The visual materials will be provided as DVDs or YouTube videos. The materials will be provided with classroom instructions according to the curriculum of the related subjects, including social studies. We also describe the workshops developed jointly by ONG and industries. The outreach programs have been evaluated by questionnaire survey and by interviews of lecturers and people in industry. Lastly, we provide a summary of the challenges and the future prospects of the STEM education and outreach programs in university/industry collaboration.

Recently, art has received a lot of attention in science communication as a tool for engaging a potential audience. However, there are few studies that have analyzed the effects and characteristics of art in science communication. Therefore, the present research is an attempt to examine the emotional and transmission effects of art in the context of science communication. We used two works of art created through collaboration between scientists and artists. These works were then compared with other images of science communication and were analyzed for their communicative effects. Through an experiment that gauged the emotional effect of art, we found that people tend to be impressed by the novelty of a work of art. Through another experiment that probed the transmission effect of art, we also found that a work that used analogy could transmit a complex science concept better than a typical science illustration.

The use of visual expression in education has expanded significantly since the emergence of printing and photography technologies towards the end of the 19th century. Education and research in the 21st century will not be limited to the now-traditional combination of text and figures. E-books can now incorporate a wide variety of visual content and supplementary web services for printed textbooks are becoming standard. Science education research in particular cannot ignore the increasing academic use of visual content.This article provides a qualitative examination of the visual communication of science (focusing on educational material and research publications) in foreign institutions that have experimented with these new forms of education earlier than Japan. It shows that examples of visual communication can be grouped into organization-driven and researcher-driven types. The former brings the benefit of organization-wide visual unification, while the latter ensures that the researcher brings his/her professional expertise to the project. With increasing expectations for visual communication in education and research both in Japan and overseas, including the spread of Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), there is a need of further consideration of institutional understanding of and support for visual communication in science.

This research investigates the effect of a mock lesson to students on a teacher training course in science. This research attempted to document changes in students' knowledge and concepts about performing a science lesson by using an image mapping test before and after the lecture. An investigation was also made whether important science instruction skills when performing a science lesson were able to be supported by observing other students' mock lesson. The results show that the students could gain confidence, especially concerning instructions for science experiments. In addition, they acquired viewpoints which are required for a teacher, such as safety, conduction a preliminary experiment, and writing on the blackboard.
