本日のATⅠでは、３月14日に予定しているミニ「探究成果発表会」に向けて、各班で発表のためのポスター制作が始まりました。ポスターを作るのは昨年度の発表会以来となる生徒たち。10月に作った研究計画書を基に、その後の実験や調査で分かったことをグラフや表にしたり、考察をまとめていかなければなりません。データ数が足りないことに気づき、追加の調査（アンケート）を計画したり、そもそも仮説ができるのかについて班で話し合ったり、発表まであまり準備の時間が取れないこともあり、どの班も急ピッチでポスター作成に取り組んでいました。

　ATⅠでは２年生４クラスの生徒が26の班に分かれてグループ研究を行っています。生徒たちは文・理問わずそれぞれの興味・関心に沿って研究テーマを選定しており、科学系や物理系の研究もあれば、観光や地域振興など、社会系のテーマで研究を進めている班もあります。週１時間と決して多い時間ではありませんが、各班計画的に研究を進めており、研究の完成と地域や世界への提言をするところまで２年間じっくり研究を行うこととなっています。

　さて、ミニ発表会まで１ヶ月。他のグループの生徒たちや先生方にこれまでの研究の成果を分かりやすく伝えることはできるでしょうか。各班、担当の先生方の助言を活かしながら、がんばってください。

　　Today in AT I, each group began making posters for their presentations in preparation for the mini "Exploratory Results Presentation" scheduled for March 14. The students, who have not made posters since last year's presentation, must create graphs and tables based on the research proposal they made in October, and summarize their findings from the subsequent experiments and investigations. They realized that they did not have enough data, so they had to plan additional surveys (questionnaires), discuss whether they could formulate a hypothesis in the first place, and work on their posters at a rapid pace, as there was not much time for preparation before their presentations.

　In ATi I, students in the four second-year classes are divided into 26 groups for group research. Students choose their research themes based on their interests, both in the humanities and the sciences. Some research is in the sciences or physics, while others are working on social themes such as tourism or regional development. Although one hour per week is not a lot of time, each group is systematically working on their research, and they will spend two years carefully completing their research and making recommendations to the local community and the world.

　Now, we have one month until the mini presentation. Will they be able to present the results of their research to the other groups of students and teachers in an easy-to-understand manner? Each group should do their best, making use of the advice of their teachers.
