A Study of the Education of Model Based Development Thinking in Junior High School Technology Education

In order to make the realization of Society 5.0, which contributes to the achievement of the SDGs, a focus has been placed on human resource development to create new value in the Sixth Science, Technology and Innovation Plan. In addition, a development method called “Model Based Development”, in which simulations are conducted using mathematical models, is being promoted in industry. In this study, we develop and practice Model Based Development Thinking education at the junior high school level, and verify its educational effectiveness. Specifically, it is the development of learning materials for proportional control focusing on the characteristic of a sensor, using Advanced Emergency Braking System as the subject. In addition, this research is aimed at the SDGs goals: (4) Quality Education, (7) Affordable and Clean Energy, and (9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. © 2023 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
