Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to clarify the diversity of the paradigm of the subject pedagogy research. In order to achieve this objective, we interviewed the 22 researchers in the world majoring in subject pedagogy about teaching and research philosophy, social responsibility and identity. As a result, it became clear that the extent to which researchers are involved in the society (curriculum development/school practice) depends on the following situation and individual perception. (a) Is there a divergence between academic theory over practice and reality of practice? (b) Does researchers have an intention that want to support the improvement of educational practices through his/her teacher education, research and social service? (c) Is it also recognized as his/her own social responsibility to do so?
