Ayano

Topic: Content Based Instruction

Rationale: 70% of Europeans like math and science but only 50 to 60% of Japanese like math and science. Her hypothesis for the gap is that many Japanese do not think what they study at school will be helpful for their future. In the new course of study, Monbukagakusho wants to make community and school closer. Ayano thinks that CBI can increase students’ motivation to study at school.

Possible Research Question: Is the content related to students’ motivation to study English?

She wants to focus on Super Science High School and she has two choices 1) Doing questionnaire research or 2) Doing a case study.
