Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) A questionnaire survey was conducted in 479 elementary schools for special-needs children with intellectual disabilities nationwide as of Feb. 2019. As a result, while acknowledging the merits of programming education, the following issues were identified: difficulties due to the characteristics of the disabilities, problems in handling the subject matter and curriculum, lack of knowledge and skills of teachers, and lack of prior examples. (2) In the 2018-20 school year, the University of Toyama's Faculty of Human Development's Special Needs School implemented programming education in independent activities, life unit studies, playtime, and various subjects, and verified its effectiveness. As a result, the development of students' ability to think programmatically was confirmed. In addition, we proposed a cross-curricular approach to learning and a way to position programming in the curriculum.
