Outline of Final Research Achievements

The results obtained in this study can be summarized in the following five points. First, a teacher training approach and case method that supports mental health care and diverse community formation were introduced into the frame of moral education research. Second, the developed case materials and training methods were published as books and disseminated in practice. Third, through the developed training methods, we pioneered the possibility for teachers to manage and promote effective moral education without depending on their experience. Fourth, through the developed case materials and training methods, we have opened up the possibility for schools and communities to become "advanced" in the management of moral education. Fifth, research seeds were generated to further pursue the possibility of inquiry-based moral education from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
