Outline of Final Research Achievements

This interdisciplinary research study aims to apply knowledge from sports education to the education of animation expression. It serves as foundational research for developing instructional methods for animation expression that are based on kinesthetic imagery. The study explores what internal imagery is appropriate for learners when drawing the movements of animations and investigates effective instructional methods for facilitating such learning. To address these questions, the study conducted interviews with professional animators, literature research in the field of sports education, and theoretical discussions based on the findings. Additionally, the study attempts to develop specific instructional materials and evaluation support tools based on the theoretical framework.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

スポーツとアニメーションは、身体運動を扱うという共通点があるにも関わらず、これまでその接点を探る試みはほとんど行われてこなかった。本研究は領域横断的アプローチにより、その可能性を探る先鞭をつけたことが第一の学術的意義といえる。AIが映像表現をも自動生成する時代において、アニメーションを含む映像表現全般の教育のあり方が問われているが、そうした中で指針にもなりうる身体性に基づく基礎教育の方向性を示したことは本研究の社会的意義だといえよう。
