Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

仮名文字、漢字、ローマ字など文字の種類ごとにその指導法について明らかにしていく文字教育研究の蓄積はあるが、文字の種類の枠組みを超えて学習者の自己学習力育成の視点から文字教育モデルを構築しようとする研究の蓄積は少ないため、それに関する基礎的な研究を行ったことが本研究の意義である。また、文字教育の目的と学習内容を把握することと関連して、ローマ字教育の目的の変遷や、現在の学校現場における学習内容の実際について調査に基づいて明らかにしたことは、今後ローマ字教育の在り方について検討する際の基礎的資料として活用できると考える。
