Outline of Final Research Achievements	The purpose of this study was to clarify from a survey of advanced in Japan and overseas cases that educational methods in multi-grade classe are favorable conditions for promoting next-generation education, and to organize conditions for enhancing the educational effects of such methods, including curriculum, classroom environment, teaching materials, and teaching methods, through international comparisons. Through this research, we believe that we can propose to the Japanese educational field an educational theory and instructional method that will position in multi-grade classes, which are expected to increase in the future, as a positive educational method.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究の成果として、学術的には国際社会において学校統廃合の教育政策を概観した上で、従来は解消されるべき学習形態とされてきた複式学級に対して、異学年混合方式による利点をあきらかにし、その積極的な側面を報告することができた。また、社会的意義としては、今後ますます増加することが予想される地方の小規模校・少人数学級において、一斉授業型とは異なる個別最適な学びを重視した学習方法を、一人ひとりの自己学習能力を高める方向で授業方法を具体的にコーチングすることができた。
