Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research project was promoted for the purpose of international collaboration in research and practice of "school as learning community" originating in Japan, which is spreading mainly in Asian countries. Even though the COVID-19 made overseas travel and face-to-face international conferences impossible, and every country implemented school closures and restrictions on learning, we have promoted "21st century-style teaching and learning = inquiry and collaborative learning" in response to the circumstances in each country. As a result, despite many restrictions, the project has made remarkable progress in both research and practice. The 8th International Conference (FY2020) was far larger than ever before, with 2,100 attendees from 31 countries. The 9th International Conference (FY2021) was attended by 2,000 researchers and teachers from 21 countries.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、2000年代以降、アジア諸国の学校改革（授業と学びと学校行政の改革）において最も影響力を持ち続けている「学びの共同体の学校改革」の研究と実践の国際ネットワークを基盤としている。この改革は研究代表者が1990年代に提唱し、世界各国に普及した学校改革の研究と実践であり、多くの国で研究と実践のネットワークを形成し、いくつかの国においては国家政策もしくは準国家政策になっている。本研究は、それらの国々の研究と実践の国際交流を行い、各国の教育改革の推進を担っている。
