Outline of Final Research Achievements

The results of this study are, first, the submission of a theoretical framework for identifying the characteristics of teachers' moral judgments in collaborative and inquiry-based classes. I have found a new perspective in interpreting the influences from outside the classroom that are implicit in teachers' value judgments in teaching. Second, I found that teachers' autonomous decisions supporting children's inquiry in the class were facilitated by learning with their colleagues in each school.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教科内容の知識や指導技術等と異なり，授業における教師の判断は，具体的な内容が捉えにくい傾向にある。そのため，授業中の教師の判断をいかに成熟させていくかということについても，教師たちによって経験的に把握され，同僚の先輩教師から徒弟的に学ばれてきた。本研究では，授業中の教師の判断を価値に関わる道徳的判断と捉えて実証的に特徴を明らかにするための理論枠組みを提示したことにより，教師の専門性とその育成を巡る議論に新たな視点を提供することができた。
