Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focused on the problems of social media that have arisen with the expansion of today's media society, and aimed to clarify the ideal form of social studies lessons that foster new media literacy from the perspective of social criticism.
As a result, it was clarified that the expansion of the media environment has a structural impact on the codes and contexts that are the main elements of communication, and that the structure of the social media society that causes problems in the cognitive judgments of receivers and senders was clarified. In addition, a constructive learning model for learning this structure critically and creatively was clarified, and by empirically examining several developed lessons based on the learning model using SNS as examples, the effectiveness of lessons that foster media literacy specific to social studies was clarified.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

現代的課題であるソーシャルメディアの問題を対象にした学習モデルを提起し，具体的に開発した授業を実証的に検討することで，メディアリテラシーを育成する社会科特有の意義を明らかにした。社会科授業において，メディアを社会的構築物として批判・創造的に捉えさせる学習理論やソーシャルメディアを対象にした学習内容を具体的に提起することで，今後のソーシャルメディアを対象にした社会科教育研究をより一層充実させる基盤を形成することができた。
