Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

（１）従来、主権者教育といえば、模擬選挙や地域社会の問題を討論で決めていく、などの実践が提案されてきている。それらの意義を踏まえながらも、全国的な政治的な問題につながる実践の在り方の1つを提案し、対象を地域社会から全国につなげる役目を果たす。特に「政治的中立性」に悩む教師にとって、子どもが討論を経て自分の考えを整理することにつなげる実践を提案したことで、主権者教育の充実をはかる一助となる。
（２）実践に向き合う教師やその環境づくりを行う教育行政（教育委員会）の意識・実態の一端を整理し、現状把握の一助となる。
