Outline of Final Research Achievements

There is an increasing need for teachers to work with welfare professionals. However, there are few opportunities for teachers to fully acquire the philosophy and purpose of cooperation. In this research, we collected concrete action repertoires that contribute to cooperation with welfare, and explored the motivation of cooperation in the form of "frame".
In the survey, interviews were made with the OB of school principals and school social workers in a network for supporting the development of children and young people, and advanced efforts were collected. In addition, we collected and documented the practical knowledge accumulated by in-service teachers regarding the poverty of children and school refusal. However, it is difficult to find an example in which motivation is recognized at the level of individual teachers, and there remains a problem in bridging with knowledge at the level of the regional network.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

子どもの貧困、不登校などの問題に際し、教員が福祉の専門家と連携すべき場面が多くなった。ただ、学校の教員が福祉や専門家との連携について学ぶ機会は乏しい。たとえば不登校の児童生徒が中学校を卒業する際に、本人や家族がもはや学校には相談できなくなるのに対し、地域の相談窓口と十分な引継ぎが行われることは少ない。
そこでこの研究では教員や福祉専門家に聞き取りを実施し、在学中から専門家と顔の見える関係を築いた例、校長OBが地域とのつなぎ役を担う例などを探った。これらを教育現場に還元することで、多くの教員が連携を実施できるようになると考えられる。研究では教員自身による実践例の資料作成も実施した。
