Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、戦後の女性の大学教育の確立について①政策立案過程および制度、②女子大学の設立、③大学の門戸開放、共学化について、学校教育法成立以前と以後に分け、総合的に究明するものであり、これまでこのような研究は見られなかった。①については、CIEの文書をほぼ悉皆的に調査し、②については個別の女子大学設立認可申請書を分析し、戦後の新しい女性像を基盤としつつも、特性教育的理念や学部・学科組織の上に女子大学が成立したことを明らかにした。③についても個別大学の共学化を、国公私立大学に類型化して実証的に明らかにした。
本研究は、男女の社会的格の大きい日本社会の女性あり方を考える際の基盤として役立つと考える。
