Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was to investigate the validity of significance of developmental stage that S scale checklist was based on. Behavior descriptions of early development including interest behavior, attention and joint attention behavior were reconsidered and the developmental path diagram of literacy and mathematics was suggested. Teachers in special schools for children with multiple and profound disabilities were asked to use this checklist and get assessment information of behaviors. Behavior descriptions of interest behavior and request and reject behaviors were analyzed and the developmental path diagram of interest behavior and request and reject behaviors were suggested.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研究で提案しているものは、乳幼児研究を手がかりとした発達指標や行動項目、発達的系統図のモデルである。これらのものは、特別支援学校等における重度・重複障害児を対象とした授業を実施する際に、子どもの実態把握、目標設定、学習評価に活用可能であり、有用性が高い。また、重度・重複障害に関する実態把握や目標設定に関する研究では、最近の乳幼児研究を踏まえたものがみられず、その点は学術的な意義が高いと考えられる。
