Which elementary school students think that the subject will be useful in the future

Elementary school students may learn a variety of subjects, but they may think that they will not be useful in the future and learn in lack of purpose to learn.Which elementary school students think that the subject will be useful in the future?From the results of the “Survey on Elementary School Daily Life and Learning” ( *) released by the Gakken Education Research Institute, we will check the actual situation of “subjects that are useful in school classes in the future” that elementary school students themselves think.

The following is a subject that thinks that it will be useful in school classes.Because it is a choice format, it does not seem to be useless except for the selected subject.

The subjects that are considered to be useful in the most elementary school students are arithmetic.32.2 % and nearly 1/3 elementary school students have agreed.Sometimes they hear lamenting that the number of children who do not like science and mathematics is increasing, but at least the perception of elementary school students seems to be useful.However, it is a pity that the science as a subject of the same science and mathematics is only 2.1 %.Is it difficult to imagine a scene that is used in real life specifically?

The second most common in arithmetic is 22.9 % in Japanese.It is natural to think that it can be useful because it is easy to imagine to encounter a place to use the study of Japanese language on a daily basis.If you learn the language well, you may not be confused by communicating with others.

From the viewpoint of communication, it is convinced that foreign languages are in third place.If you do not know a foreign language, you will not be able to communicate with the person who uses the word, and you will not be able to read the written text.Even in places to touch overseas products, you cannot check how to operate or precautions.If you don't learn a foreign language, you'll learn such a difficulty, so it's normal to think that it must be a subject that will be useful in the future.

"Comprehensive learning" is a subject in which children themselves, which have been gradually started in 2000 in the guidelines for learning, are spontaneously learning comprehensive issues.Although there are selections such as grade classification and university courses, the contents are diverse.Elementary school students seem to be useful for the future in the positions following arithmetic, Japanese, and foreign languages.

On the other hand, there are 6.0 % of elementary school students who think that "no", that is, all the subjects they are learning do not seem to be useful in the future.Do you simply think that the image is still unable to imagine the future, or do you think you are learning only useless subjects that are useless in the future?

The next graph was confirmed by attribute about the upper subject.

Mathematics are considered to be more useful for boys than girls.There is no movement that tended to be by grade.The language is high in first grade and second grade in elementary school, and the price drops from the third grade of elementary school, but this seems to be because foreign languages will be entered after the third grade of elementary school (in the current curriculum, foreign languages after the third grade of elementary school.Since the class is held, there is no answer value in the first grade and the second grade of elementary school).

Comprehensive learning is highly supported in the lower grades of elementary school.On the other hand, science has no classes in first -year and second -year elementary school students, so the answer is zero.This is the same as a foreign language.
