Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to clarify the desirable relationship of between autonomy and science in educational practices. Science is essential for better educational practices. However, the practitioners are the ones to carry out the practices, and autonomy among practicioners are also important. The present study investigated this issue by conducting research on Mantaro Kido's educational thought. As a result, the following points were identified. Firstly, it was clarified that "humanism" in Mantaro Kido's educational thought during the postwar period is the concept that underlies educational research and educational practices. Also, the study revealed that the "humanism" was emphasized in relation to psychology. Finally, it was shown that concepts such as " aspect" and "life " are keywords in relation between autonomy and science.
