Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study presents the characteristics of six domains, including "future outlook and planning," related to the abilities and attitudes of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) concerning their life careers (roles individuals play in various life settings, including vocational life). The study also organized the requirements for lesson planning to instruct on life career abilities and attitudes and conducted lesson implementation and analysis based on these requirements. As a result, a multi-layered support model was devised, combining "basic career education," "issue-focused career education," and "individual career education based on dialogic interventions," confirming the usefulness of this support.

特別支援教育

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

特別支援教育において自閉スペクトラム症者の支援は重要であり、キャリア教育の充実が求められている。そこで、本研究ではライフキャリアに着目し、能力・態度の特徴を示した。またライフキャリアの支援の中核は“授業”であるため、その要件を整理し、加えて多層的な授業の構造を想定し、実践でその有用性を確認した。このような教育課題への接近によって、共生社会の実現に向け、自立と社会参加を目指す自閉スペクトラム症者のための教育資源が、より一層充実したと言える。
