Outline of Final Research Achievements	This continuous follow-up surveys conducted over the 10 years since the occurrence of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the following points have become clear. First, there is an aspect of inertia in the modern education system that continues to be implemented unwaveringly despite the various questions brought about by the disaster. Second, there is always a built-in opportunity for teachers to question the everyday life of schools by making various meanings of the vulnerabilities brought to the modern educational system by the earthquake. Third, the results of the questionnaire survey explored that, the students’ disaster experiences might have increased their time preference rate. Simultaneously, their aspirations for university education also increased despite their higher time preference and unlikelihood of having high expectations for advancing to university education.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	東日本大震災と学校教育や子どもへの影響を継続的に調査している研究は限られているだけでなく、10年間継続的に追跡することにより、災害と教育の関係を多角的に捉える視点を提供できたという意味での社会的意義は大きい。また調査手法として、震災直後から2017年までの参与観察に加えて、本研究では中学生と保護者への質問紙調査を試みることで、学校を介さず子どもや保護者への震災の影響を直接的に把握することも行っており学際的な手法を採用している点も社会的意義が大きい。
