Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近代社会形成過程における社会進化論の受容に焦点を当てた歴史研究を縦軸とし，日本の多文化・多民族化進行下での若者の意識を横軸とする基礎的研究の上に，共生観・倫理観を育む中学校社会科の単元開発，授業に公共的空間をもたらす小学校社会科防災学習の授業分析，SDGsの視点による社会科・英語科の協働的授業開発などを行った点に，本研究の方法的意義がある。利潤の追求を本質とする企業が求める資質・能力と，学校教育で育てるべき資質・能力とは異なるが，日本の若者の倫理観，職業観，国際交流への指向などについて批判的に検討することで，社会の変化に対応した教育の在り方や具体的なカリキュラム開発に資すると考える。
