Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

□学術的意義　　本研究ではオープンシステム型保育／教育方針の下での“オープンな環境”と，刺激のコントロールやカームダウンスペースなど特別支援ニーズ児のための“クローズドな環境”という異なるニーズを統合する環境を考究する点に学術的意義がある。
□社会的意義　　本研究での知見は空間を閉じやすい従来型の保育／教育施設での特別支援ニーズを包摂する環境整備にも有効で汎用性が高い。また本研究成果は主体性育成と活動単位の弾力化，特別支援ニーズ児への合理的配慮を両立する包摂型保育／教育環境のあり方への知見で，今後の包摂型保育／教育の場の構築に資する点に価値がある。
