Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through the qualitative analysis of 12 representative textbook series for German, mathematics and 'Sachunterricht' of primary level in Germany published after 1990's, this research clarified following three points. 1. Cooperative learning is introduced into the textbooks after 1990's regardless of their subjects. 2. The influence of the national educational standards on the textbooks for primary school becomes stronger and stronger since 2010's. 3. Although the awareness of inclusive learning in the textbooks for primary school is raised after 2010's, tendency of individualization of learning in the textbooks could risk the authenticity of learning.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果の学術的意義と社会的意義は、次の三つである。①教科書研究大国ドイツの1990年代から現在に至る基礎学校用教科書を教科横断的に分析し、協同学習の位置づけを明らかにした。②基礎学校の教科書において教育スタンダードとインクルージョンがそれぞれ各教科にどのように影響を与えたのかを明らかにした。③日本において今後協同的でインクルーシブな学びを志向する教科書を開発する際の参照軸になりうる。
