Outline of Research at the Start

本研究は、国内と国外での才能教育や才能児へのニーズへの対応に関する学問的理論と一般的議論、または教師の考え方と実践にフォーカスすると共に、日本での才能に関する考え方の歴史的かつ文化的な構築プロセスを調査する。この多様な質的データを活かし、国際的な協力の中でも行われる革新的な研究の目標は、専門的能力を教師に身につけるための、日本文化社会と教育システムの特徴を配慮する育成法を開発するための土台を作ることである。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on interview data, survey data and international research visits and the employment of comparative research approach, this project has uncovered how Japanese teachers think about gifted learners and their education, and what kind of skills teachers need learn to achieve this. As a big difference with many European countries, there is little intentional training on gifted education in Japan and also a socio-cultural tendency to avoid giving special attention to gifted and their individual needs. However, upon investigating teachers’ thinking more closely, their attitudes towards talent development are quite positive and if there is heightened awareness of learning needs, it is possible to plan and teach in a way that is beneficial for the gifted learners. Gifted education needs to be made a pertinent theme in teacher education from the start as currently, the teachers cannot develop neither sufficient awareness of the aforementioned needs nor relevant professional skills.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教育のステークホルダー(児童生徒・保護者・世間)の信頼を得て、個別最適なアプローチを活かしながら少しずつ特別な対応の範囲を広げていけば日本でも才能教育が可能になる。
本プロジェクトにより教師教育の役割・身につけるべき資質能力についてのヒントを得て、結果に基づき、具体的なプログラムの工夫が可能である。
