Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to identify a theoretical framework for examining cases of school-based lesson study groups with a focus on joint attention (hereafter JA). The specific mechanism of the JA function in a particular case was clarified, and then all the cases were analyzed to clarify the general function of JA during the lesson study group meetings based on the typology of the cases. Then, in light of the results of the theoretical study, we examined what limitations JA with such general functions had as a conceptual device for case studies of lesson study groups and how it should be modified. Based on this, the present working hypothesis (a pre-existing theoretical framework for recognizing JA) was restructured as suitable for case studies of school-based lesson study groups.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

教師の視線がどこを向いているかをアイトラッキングによって記録する試みでは行われていなかった、カメラで観察された現象を構造化する（理解する）ための理論的な枠組みの整備や、共同行為における注視についての検討、注視と周囲との影響し合いについての検討を本研究では試みた。また、教師自身が空間にどのように関心を向けているかについては、「位置どり」等の「空間使用」に関する教師の「空間教育学」を明らかにした研究も参考になるが、本研究は、そのような「空間教育学」自体が授業研究会という共同行為において協同的に構築される過程を解明することにも寄与しうる。
