Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

心理志向の経済教育論の構築と検証によって、まず、学習者の社会的認知と経済的社会化に働きかけることで、経済的思考を形成する社会科授業の構成原理を提案した。具体的には、概念変化に基づく教育的働きかけにより、児童・生徒が自ら素朴理論を可能な限り科学理論へと近づけることによって、科学的探究を行い、最終的に社会事象や経済事象に対する科学的思考を形成するという方略の有効性が実証された。次に、授業研究の方法論の次元において、量的・質的な研究方法を実験授業において具現化し、教育評価や学習評価の観点から、授業分析や児童・生徒の認知的発達の測定方法を提案することができた。
