| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Despite travel restrictions due to the spread of the coronavirus, we were able to conduct research remotely with local officials and make the research publicly available, thereby reflecting the views of a wide range of other researchers and educators. As a concrete result of our research, including field surveys conducted after the lifting of travel restrictions, we confirmed that the three Micronesian countries have detailed descriptions of the Japanese period in their own history textbooks. However, their use was left to the discretion of the field level, and the quality of education varied. On the other hand, the United Sates has a large influence on the creation of such teaching materials, relying on not only financially but also in terms of resources written in English. In order to utilize materials written in Japanese at that time, Japanese cooperation is indispensable, and international educational cooperation from a broad perspective is required to deepen mutual understanding.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまで世界的に研究の対象にされてこなかったミクロネシア地域の歴史教育について、教科書とカリキュラムの実態を調査し、その中での日本統治時代の取扱いを明らかにした。他方で、コロナ禍で取り組んだオンライン調査を一般公開することで、新しい研究手法とその成果の社会還元のモデルを示すこともできた。また、現地調査により特に現地教員の不足と外国人教員への依存に起因する現地の教育的課題を見出した。歴史を共有する日本とミクロネシア地域の相互理解を深めるために、新たに歴史教育を通じた協力や交流という視点を提示した。これは、戦時下で日本の支配が拡大した周辺地域にも当てはまる可能性が高く、更なる調査が望まれよう。
