Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on engagement in the classroom: active participation in learning with positive emotions such as motivation and enjoyment. It develops a support tool for class design and improvement for primary and secondary education teachers.
The questionnaire and interview showed that the tool was easy to use, but there was room for improvement and consideration. Additionally, it showed that teachers' understanding of student engagement and the reflection sheet was helpful to design and improve classes. It also was essential to consider the teachers' image of active learning and their experience with active learning when developing tools.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現在、主体的・対話的で深い学びが推進されている。本研究ではエンゲージメントの観点から授業設計・改善を支援するツールを検討してその評価を行なっており、これは主体的・対話的で深い学びを進める上で意義があると考えられる。
また、アクティブラーニングに対するイメージと教職経験、授業づくりとの関連を示唆できたことは、主体的・対話的で深い学びを進めるための教員への教育プログラム検討においても参考となり、教員養成や現職教員の教員研修に寄与できると考えられる。
