In order to enhance students' understanding of scientific concepts, a curriculum that includes learning designs of experiments and experiencing scientific concepts in action is key. Professor Kouji Takeda, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Japan, is developing experimental teaching materials for high school biology students consisting of experimental and scientific techniques and knowledge of microorganisms, plants, and animals. Takeda believes that instilling in students a deep appreciation of nature is important as it fosters respect for the environment and contributes to the promotion of sustainability. His goal in designing new teaching materials is to improve students' research abilities and foster their connection with micro- and macro perspective in the environment. Takeda and his team have three pillars of educational research: curriculum research; teaching material research; and research of instruction, which are key foci for the researchers. The researchers have set learning goals for a deeper understanding of living things and have built a theoretical framework for the curriculum. In particular, it is important for students to investigate and understand the importance of substances in living organisms. This ties into the teaching material research, which focuses on finding a system, or model organism, in which this could be experimentally demonstrated and explored. Then, the plan is for Takeda and the team to conduct the teaching material research in schools. This will comprise tests and interviews with students and teachers, as well as observations, with a view to demonstrating the significance of the curriculum and teaching material research.

The most significant concern in teaching mathematical concepts is developing and improving mathematical communication skills. However, the reality reveals that communication skills possessed by students are still relatively low. This causes students’ difficulty in understanding the material, solving problems, and conveying mathematical ideas both in oral or written form. Furthermore, students’ teaching material is not adequate to support the expected learning goals. It creates students’ difficulty in understanding the materials and it doesn’t integrate mathematical communication skills. This study aims to develop teaching materials in the form of mathematics module based on reciprocal teaching to improve students' mathematical communication skills. This is a research development that employs Four-D model. Subjects of the study are the teachers and the seventh grade Junior High School.

According to the ethic of life, all living organisms are of special moral importance. Living things, unlike simple artifacts or biological collectives, are not mere things whose value is entirely instrumental. This book articulates why the ethic is immune to most of the standard criticisms raised against it, but also why such an ethic is untenable, why the domain of moral concern does not extend to all living things; it argues for an old conclusion in an entirely new way. To see why the ethic must be abandoned requires that we look carefully at the foundations of the ethic—the ways in which it is tightly connected to issues in the philosophy of biology and the sorts of assumptions it must draw on to distinguish the living from the nonliving. This book draws on resources from a variety of branches of philosophy and the sciences to show that the ethic cannot survive this scrutiny, and it articulates what the death of the ethic of life means in a variety of areas of practical concern, including environmental ethics, biomedical ethics, ethics of technology, and in philosophy more generally.
