Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は，学校教育における喫緊かつ不可欠な課題として指摘されながら，必ずしも十分に着手されていない通常の学校における「医療的ケア」児の支援システム開発に意義をもつと考える。わが国の先行研究の多くは，特別支援学校の視点を中心に検討されたものであり，インクルーシブ教育の展開を前提とした分析は極めて少ない。本研究では，インクルーシブ教育との関連性に注目しながら，通常の学校における「医療的ケア」児の支援システムを実体化し定着させる諸条件の解明を目的としており，医療を要する多様な児童生徒の学習保障に対しても波及的な知見を含むものと考える。
