Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the early stages of the study, there were significant differences in the reality and educational environment of the children and students enrolled in the sick and physically weak special support classes set up in elementary and junior high schools and the so-called hospital classes. Specifically, in the sick and physically weak special support classes set up in elementary and junior high schools, the children and students were isolated from the healthy children. The parents were in the midst of everyday life, and the teachers had a unique position in the school. In the hospital class, the children with chronic diseases had a close relationship with each other. The parents were in a critical situation. The teachers were in a relationship of mutual learning. However, the qualities required of each teacher are the same, and it is important to conduct training that focuses on these in the future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

戦前戦後を通して、病弱教育の片方の柱であり続けてきた病弱虚弱特別支援学級であったが、特に小中学校に設置された学級は、都道府県により扱いが異なること、全国的な組織が形成されなかったことから、その教育方法、位置づけ、特色等、ほとんど研究されてこなかった。単に研究がないというだけではなく、インクルーシブ教育を考えるとき、「小中学校に設置された病弱・身体虚弱特別支援学級」の設置を進めるためにも重要な位置づけを持った研究であると思われる。
