Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to clarify how grade promotion works when "Hoa Nhap" education, which means "to educate children with disabilities together with those without disabilities in educational institutes," is implemented. Although the research has been forced to alter its procedure because of the pandemic, this study has been moved forward by means of the following: comparison of curriculum contents, analysis of changes of evaluation items, and examination of interview data from teachers. In conclusion, regardless of enhancement of standardization of curriculum, teachers modify the items and levels of evaluation, and make promotions system work to fix issues stemming from "Hoa Nhap" education in accordance with school environments.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、教員の抱く「教育的望ましさ」が、カリキュラム改革のなかでどのように構築されているのかを探り、進級と留年をめぐる評価の仕組みからその機能を明らかにした。研究の結果、評価は基準性が強まるなか、教員は筆記試験を含めた手法で評価し、「一緒に教育する」ことから生じる教育機会の問題を補完しており、その際の手立てが進級制度であることがわかった。この知見は「インクルーシブ教育」を謳い日本の内外でおこなわれる様々な施策、実践のあり方について、特にカリキュラムと教育評価とを捉えなおす点で社会的意義があると考える。
