Outline of Final Research Achievements

The 2018 amendment to the Civil Code will make the age of majority 18 years old effective from April 1, 2022. At the same time as the amendment, various educational practices were launched, but most of these were biased towards "consumer education" rather than education for "18-year-old adults." For this reason, in this study, educational materials for "18-year-old adults" were created in collaboration with current teachers. A total of 18 teaching materials were completed and presented at academic conferences and at the "18-year-old Adulthood Educational Materials Development Research Project Research Presentation Session." The publication of teaching materials is currently in progress.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

2022年4月1日から「18歳成年」が実現したが、教員が作成した「成年教育教材」が圧倒的に不足していた。本研究では、「18歳成年」の意味を検討し、「自分のことを自分で決めることが出来るようになる」ことととらえ、消費者問題だけではなく、労働契約なども含めた自己決定、社会への参画意欲の形成など様々な視点から、「あるべき18歳成年」への教材開発を行った。合計18本の教材が完成し、全国への発信を行っている。
