| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research has investigated developmental disorders (referred to as Geek syndrome) and its related issues in universities in Japan and the Philippines. The result has shown that the students’ temperamental tendencies constitute an adequate element for curriculum development especially of communication-related subjects. Given that the student population in science and technology are most expected to develop effective communication skills using English, the research has suggested that ESP (English for Specific Purposes), using materials of basic mathematics and science, would be most appropriate.
The research has raised the awareness of the continuum nature of abilities and disabilities, as well as the awareness of the dissociation between the notion of inclusive education and the unified curriculum in universities. It offered fundamental data for exploring possible solutions filling in the disclosed gap.
