| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study inquired into the process in which children's selves emerge, with a specific focus on school education. I analyzed children's personal stories written as their homework assignment and children's discussions recorded in Japanese language classes in the 6th grade, using the theoretical framework of presentational self (Komatsu, 2010) derived from the concept of semiotic mediation (Valsiner, 2007). The analysis exemplified how unique perspective of each child becomes clear in his/her meaning construction. For example, the analysis of children's personal stories showed that children's writing fine details of events or the relationship among several events clarifies their presentational selves for readers. Along with these qualitative analyses, a theoretical discussion that compares the framework of presentational self and existing theories on children's self was developed.
