Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted to examine the interaction between 'individuals' and 'groups' in special activities in elementary and junior high schools, based on the theory of the satisfaction of basic psychological needs in Self-Determination Theory, and to propose examples of initiatives for the formation of human relationships in special activities. The results of multiple regression analysis suggest that a positive classroom climate has a generally positive effect on the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs of individuals. On the other hand, negative classroom climate, such as discord in the classroom, may be a factor that hinders the fulfilment of individuals' basic psychological needs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の意義は，小中学校の特別活動の学級活動をDeci&Ryanの自己決定理論に基づいて検証したことである。学級活動場面における，学級「集団」と児童生徒「個人」の相互作用の検証にはConnell & Wellborn(1991)による，基本的心理欲求の充足に関わる，文脈と個人と行為と結果についてのシンプルモデルが，学習分野以外にも適用可能であることを示した。このことによって特別活動における学級活動について新たな分析枠組みを示すことができたといえよう。
