Outline of Final Research Achievements

The structure and the concept of "education ecosystem" have been specified from educational point of view. In an education ecosystem, the role of the government transforms from the education provider to the platform provider, controlling the balance of the whole system through metagovernance which coordinates the multiple　governance arising on the platform. Picking up a student-centered and collaborative learning environment and analyzing the teacher-student and student-student relationship, it is indicated that an education ecosystem securing the diversity and harmony at the same time is actualized in a classroom.
