| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, how to implement a social studies education program was examined in regard to raising students’ recognition and awareness of intolerance. Furthermore, the researchers attempted to increase students’ understanding of what attitudes are needed to combat intolerance in multicultural societies. After a four-year observation in Hawaiian public elementary schools in the U.S.A., it was made clear that not only the concept of "equity " but also that of "comprehensive (ness)" is important for multicultural education. Based on such findings, a hypothesis was generated that learning about the history of the restrictions, institutionalization, and medical discrimination against Hansen's disease patients in Japan is effective in social studies education and moral education to raise awareness of intolerance, and to concretely implement multicultural education in Japan.
