Abstract: The goal of school education in the 21st century is the development of problem-solving skills. Global and complex problems to be addressed include those represented by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations. The main actors who should tackle these problems are not professionals, such as politicians and engineers, but citizens. The latter must be the driving force for reviewing their lives and prompting professionals to act. In Japan, the Period for Integrated Studies (PIS) for integrating the learning outcomes of all subject areas is set to perform compulsory problem-based learning (PBL) from primary schools to high schools. However, PIS has never achieved its goal because PBL in each subject area that should be prepared for PIS is not properly performed. In this study, we designed instructional material that teaches how to quantitatively evaluate policies related to SDGs from the perspective of citizenship education for PBL in mathematics.
