Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

夜間中学とその生徒の史的変遷を総体的・通史的に把握したことは、学術的・社会的に意義ある成果である。またこの領域で、ポスト・コロニアリズムやディアスポラの観点の重要性を確認したことも、本研究の学術的特長である。本研究の調査過程で新史料の発掘・入手が進み、全国夜間中学校研究会の電子史料保存システムを一層拡充させた。さらに保存・収集した史料を次世代に継承・公開するための史料集成編纂・刊行の見通しもつけることができた。これらは一定の学術的・社会的意義をもつと思われる。
