Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to share research findings that support to the effective development of schools as a team and the enhancement of the professionalism and wellbeing (WB) of teachers. This can help improve the long working hours, busyness and poor living conditions experienced in the teaching profession. As a result, it is found that the discourses and dialectical perspective of the 'humanist approach', which is based on the idea of the “common good” that strongly values diverse interpretations of WB, can act as a counterbalance to the de-professionalization of the teaching profession. This can also serve as a foundation for enhancing the WB of teachers and schools.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教員の多忙化やカリキュラム・オーバーロードといった諸課題に対して、本研究で検討した「ヒューマニズム的アプローチ」のディスコースと弁証法的観点を踏まえた教師ウェルビーイング（Teacher Well-Being）の視座は、教職に就く人々自身の生存権も考慮する視点が十分に考慮されていないともいえる今日の日本の状況に対して、教師教育（現職教育及び教員養成）根本的な問い直しを迫るものである。
