Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have practiced an educational program which uses pottery making as a communication tool. We have tested a experimental project in the social field, planned workshops to connect people with each other, and built a method to evaluate the effects of the programs. By having students work in practical workshops, we constructed an educational program aimed to develop human resources with problem-solving skills who can cope with the aging society and other issues in the future, and studied methods for evaluating the educational effects of the program.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現代の高度に発達した情報化社会の中で、手を動かしてモノを創造する重要性が再認識されてきた。しかし重要性の根拠や教育プログラムなどの実践効果の論証とそのプログラムおよび教育効果の評価方法は確立されておらず、本研究はコミュニケーションツールとなる作陶方法を活用した教育プログラムを構築し、社会の現場で実験的なプロジェクトを実践し、人と人を繋ぐワークショップを企画運営しその効果と教育プログラムを評価する方法を構築した。
