病弱教育

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年の小児医療の進歩や、インクルーシブ教育システムの充実がめざされる中、校舎内の病弱・身体虚弱特別支援学級の充実は重要な教育課題である。しかし、校舎内の病弱・身体虚弱特別支援学級の学級担任が専門性を高める内容を体系的に学ぶ機会は少なく、現場の実態やニーズを踏まえた研修の機会を整備することが求められている。本研究の成果として、研修プログラムを開発・実施する中で、担当教員の専門性を高めるための効果的な講義内容について提言したことだけでなく、同じ立場の教員が集まって受講することの重要性を示唆したことがあげられ、今後の病弱教育の充実・発展に寄与したと考えられる。
