Science and math teachers in Japan have extremely busy schedules, making it difficult for them to participate in training workshops. In addition, funding and time off for attending such training seminars is becoming harder to obtain. While this is the current reality, simultaneously great advances are being made in the fields of IT and the digitalization of educational materials due to the support of a national project. However, very little e-learning based materials especially for math and science teachers exist at the present time, and it is our hope that a web-based system will be available for the next generation of math and science teachers to raise the quality of classroom instruction. This project outcome presents the results of our pilot project done under the above mentioned conditions. The results show that while there is a lot of potential in this field, much of that potential remains untapped and there are several problems that must be addressed.For the first year of our project, 2004, we have investigated many e-learning software and we selected to use the "FirstClass". It takes two years to develop e-learning contents for the science teachers however, we have more than ten times face-to-face conference with about 27 members who were from all area in Shizuoka. Using constructivist learning model, we are thinking to develop interesting learning community using FirstClass. For the three years, more and more researchers in science education in North America who are using e-learning system are moving toward to higher quality software and less expensive such as "Moodle". Most of the articles and papers in North America have similar results were reported that "high quality learning is only processed when the learner is reflecting and feeling that he or she is actively committing the learning.

日本的科学和数学老师的日程非常繁忙，这使得他们很难参加培训班。此外，参加此类培训研讨会的资金和休假也变得越来越困难。虽然这是当前的现实，但由于国家项目的支持，信息技术和教材数字化领域同时取得了巨大进步。然而，目前专门针对数学和科学教师的电子学习材料非常少，我们希望下一代数学和科学教师可以使用基于网络的系统来提高课堂质量操作说明。该项目成果展示了我们在上述条件下完成的试点项目的结果。结果表明，虽然这个领域有很大的潜力，但其中大部分潜力尚未开发，并且存在一些必须解决的问题。在我们项目的第一年，即 2004 年，我们研究了许多电子学习软件和我们选择使用“FirstClass”。为科学教师开发电子学习内容花了两年时间，但我们与来自静冈各地的约 27 名成员进行了十多次面对面会议。使用建构主义学习模型，我们正在考虑使用 FirstClass 开发有趣的学习社区。三年来，北美越来越多使用电子学习系统的科学教育研究人员正在转向更高质量和更便宜的软件，例如“Moodle”。北美的大多数文章和论文都有类似的结果，报告说“只有当学习者反思并感觉他或她正在积极投入学习时，高质量的学习才能实现。
