Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research is based on the characteristics and establishment of a new learning method called a moral workshop, which is conducted by composing a two-hour small unit in the special subject "Morals" (hereinafter referred to as Morals), which was made into a subject by the new course of study. The purpose was to clarify the conditions empirically and practically through the development and evaluation of research target classes.
