Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study attempted to demonstrate the usefulness of adding a case study of developmental disabilities to a workshop-style class structured in reference to disability equality training, and to capture the transformation in the way participants perceive disability from a medical model to a social model.
Due to the impact of the spread of COVID-19, the research plan was partially changed and an online workshop was conducted, but a comparison with a face-to-face workshop showed that there was much room for improvement in terms of the number and comprehensiveness of ideas.
In the face-to-face workshop, a case study of developmental disabilities was added, and the change of the case study from wheelchairs to developmental disabilities resulted in a reversal of the participants' social model perspective to a medical model perspective. In the future, we would like to elucidate the factors that caused this change.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は，キャンパスの心理的バリアフリー推進を目的として，障害の社会モデルを切り口とした発見型学習プログラムを開発し，学生の平等価値をアップデートする授業の普及をめざした。プログラム中の車いすの事例においては，参加者が社会モデル的視点を発見していく過程が確認できたが，発達障害の事例を用いたパートでは参加者の障害のとらえ方が医学モデル的視点に逆戻りし，課題を残す結果となった。
今後その原因を解明し，改良を加えることによって，本研究は様々なマイノリティの課題へ横展開，高校や中学校へ縦展開が可能であり，多様性豊かなキャンパス，共生社会の心理的インフラ整備に向けた具体的方法の探求に貢献する。
