Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are two major achievements of this study. One is that it clarified the consequences and contemporary issues of the "Protests of 1968" in Germany from the perspective of a "renaissance of discipline and instruction," while also referring to discussions in sociology and political science, and the other is that it showed the process by which anti-authoritarian education leads to "psychologization" from an academic history perspective.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教育学の中で「規律」「指導」といった言葉はネガティブに響きやすく、「主体的な学び」などの見目麗しい言葉の陰に隠れやすい。しかし、教育実践上は不可避の概念であり、ドイツにおいてこうした議論を避けてきたことの自己反省が行われていることは、日本の教育学に対しても課題を提起するものである。
