Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
持続可能な開発目標のGoal 4 に記載されたように、インクルーシブ教育は世界的急務であり関心事である。しかしながら、インクルーシブ教育を遂行した児童にどのような変化が現れるのかを定量的に評価した研究は僅少である。本研究は、障害者への差別感ならびに学力達成度を定量的に評価する初めての研究となり、経済学・教育学ならびに障害学における関連領域において、インクルーシブ教育の方向性や現実を討議できる資料という学術的意義をもつ。また、インクルーシブ教育の政策立案ならびに現場において、障害者が学級に加わるとどのような変化が児童に起こるかを議論できる資料となり、この意味で本研究は社会的意義をもつ。
