本日のASⅢでは、E1（提案を創造する）、E2（地域を創造する）の２つの本評価を実施しました。生徒たちはパソコン室でまず自己評価（評価シートに記入）をし、それぞれの担当者が待つ部屋に向かいます。先行研究を活かすことができたか、地域にどのような提案ができたか、地域と連携して研究を進めることができたかなど、合わせて１１の評価項目について、しっかり自分の言葉で説明することができていました。

　面談が終わった生徒たちは、論文のリライトに取り組みます。先日提出した論文に加えるのは、「継続研究する後輩へのアドバイス」と「天草市に対して貢献できること」の２項目です。AS（天草サイエンス）の総まとめのASⅢ。ASⅠ～ASⅢの３年間、地域に密着した研究をしてきた人も、そうでない人も、何らかの形で研究の成果を天草市 に還元し、地域とつながりつづけていってほしいと思っています。

    Today in AS III, we conducted two evaluations, E1 (Creating a proposal) and E2 (Creating a community). The students first completed their self-evaluation by filling out the evaluation sheet in the computer room and then went to the rooms where their respective supervisors were waiting for them. In the interview, the students were able to explain in their own words, including whether they were able to make use of their previous research, what proposals they were able to make to the community, and whether they were able to promote their research in cooperation with the community.

　After the interviews were over, the students worked on rewriting their paper as a summary of AS (Amakusa Science) classes. We hope everyone can return the results of their research to Amakusa City in some way and continue to be connected with the local community.

　本日のATⅡでは、本評価を行いました。今回実施したE1（提案を創造する）の評価では、先行研究を自分たちの研究に活かせているか、地域課題解決のための新たな方法を提案できたかなどの質問をします。いつものように担当者との面談形式で行われた本評価のそれぞれの会場で、生徒たちはやや緊張した面持ちで、２年間行ってきた研究について一生懸命説明をしていました。

　生徒たちは並行して「提言書」の推敲を行っています。今日は、ATⅡ（３年生）担当の先生方からのコメントを参照し、より説得力のある文章になるよう知恵を出し合っていました。いよいよ、来週は提言書の最終締切日。みんなの研究成果と知恵をぎゅっと詰め込んだ提言書が、天草市をより魅力的な「宝島」にする一歩になることを願っています。

  We had evaluation interviews in today’s ATII class. This time, we had E1, which evaluates on “Creating Proposals,”, and of course all the students did their best. Each tried hard to explain their research in their own words, by answering questions such as the use of previous research or ways to solve regional problems.

   Students who finished the interview-style evaluations, worked on editing their proposals to the city.They were discussing how to make their proposals more persuasive by referring to the comments of their teachers. The final deadline for the proposal is coming up next week. We hope that their proposals will have everyone's wisdom to make Amakusa even more attractive “Treasure Islands.”

　本日はいよいよ本評価の日。生徒たちはそれぞれの評価シートに記述での回答を行った後、別室で担当者から面談形式の本評価を受けます。今回の評価項目はC2「考察し結論を導く」。探究活動も３年目とあって、評価の内容も少しずつ難しくなってきています。担当者と１対１で質疑応答するため、どの生徒も少し緊張した面持ちです。探究活動ではクロームを駆使して情報を集めたり、まとめたりしている生徒達ですが、面談中はクロームはもちろん、何も参照することができません。それぞれ、これまでの研究を思い出しながら、他者とどのような協議を行ってきたか、新しい仮説をどのように設定・検証したか等、自分の言葉で丁寧に説明をしていました。

　さて、今日はARP探究成果発表会のスライド・ポスターの１次提出締切日にもなっています。特にスライド発表班は１からスライドを作るので大変ですが、どの班も少ない時間を有効利用して頑張っています！　７月の発表会でこれまでの探究成果をしっかり伝えられるよう、担当者とのディスカッションを重ね、より良い発表資料に仕上げていってください！

　An evaluation has come! After completing their evaluation sheets, each student is interviewed by their supervisor in a separate room for the main evaluation. The evaluation this time is called “C2,” which evaluates if the students have considered things well in their research and drew proper conclusions. As this is the third year of the inquiry activity, the evaluation is becoming a little more difficult. The students all looked a little nervous in the interview. In class, students are almost always using their chromebooks  to gather and summarize information, but during the interview, of course, they are unable to refer to chrome or anything else. Each student was recalling their previous research and carefully explaining in their own words how they had discussed with others, how they had set up and tested new hypotheses, and so on.

　Today is also the deadline for the first submission of the slides and posters for the ARP Inquiry Results Presentation. The slide presentation groups in particular need lots of work in creating their slides from scratch, but all groups, including poster presentation groups are trying their best. Students, please keep discussing with other students or teachers to make your slides or posters even better so that you can convey the results of your research at the presentation in July.
