Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through this study, we were able to analyze the contribution of each subject to "education for all" in the six subjects of school education: Japanese(mother language), social study, mathematics, science, foreign language (English), and health and physical education. As a result, it was found that "education for all" cannot be completed in each subject. On the other hand, it was found that by integrating the contributions of the six subjects, it is possible to approach "education for all". However, even so, it could not be asserted that "education for all" was achieved. In the future, we will investigate and analyze the contributions to school education such as other subjects, morals, and extracurricular activities that could not be analyzed in this study, and clarify the contribution to school education as a whole by adding such information. I think it is necessary.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学校教育の目標は全人教育にあるが、全人教育の面から学校教育を研究するアプローチはこれまでにはなかった。本研究は、各教科が全人教育のどの面にどの程度貢献するかについて質問調査によるデータの分析から明らかにすることを試みた研究であり、先駆的な研究と言える。
