Outline of Final Research Achievements

First, ongoing research and development of project-based professional development training for mid-career teachers, the future leaders of school administration, was carried out. Second, I analyzed the practice records written by mid-career teachers and interviews with them and developed a basic theory of professional development training design for mid-career teachers. Third, hypotheses were developed regarding the theoretical framework and methodology for forming a place for teachers to learn from each other across subject areas, regions, and school types (network-based professional learning communities).

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本の中等教育の現場は、教師の年齢と教職経験年数の不均衡、少子化、社会環境の変化やグローバル化に伴う教育課題の飛躍的な増加と学力観の変容のさなかにあり、従来の研修モデルからの転換が迫られている。また、教師教育の実践・研究において、教職についてから4～15年目の中堅段階にある教師を対象とした研修は、端緒についたばかりである。本研究の意義は、中堅教師が置かれている現実に即した研修設計の基礎理論を構築したところにある。
