Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

障害のある中国人幼児児童への教育的支援の実態に関して、本邦では初の複数の都市での調査研究を行うため、対象幼児児童、保護者、教員のニーズを示す貴重な情報・見地となると予想され、障害のある中国人幼児児童やその保護者・教員に対して、教育的支援の実態・ニーズに基づいた適切な支援方法の提案へとつながった。本研究成果は、特に障害のある中国人幼児児童の教育的支援システム構築に必要な基礎的資料となり、研究で得られた教育的支援方法は、今後の中国人幼児児童への支援に対する指南となることが予想され、将来的に日本在住の外国人幼児児童生徒に対する特別支援教育の発展・促進に貢献出来るという点で教育的・社会的意義があった。
