Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study revealed that in private correspondence high schools, the consamatory function (immediate satisfaction) of feeling safe and comfortable at school allows students to gain experience interacting with others, which in turn fulfills the instrumental function of leading to future social independence.
Next, as a means to realize "fair and individualized learning that leaves no one behind" for students enrolled in full-time and part-time courses, the study empirically revealed that although collaboration and co-taught courses in the correspondence course are possible in all high schools under the system, there are cases where this is hindered by differences in teacher awareness and learning difficulty levels at each school. The study clarified that there are cases in which the system is hindered by differences in teacher awareness and learning difficulty in different schools.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

通信制高校は、少子化の中でも設置数が増加し、生徒数も増えている。通信制高校では、生徒募集の戦略として、学びや体験の選択肢の多さ、日常生活の自由度の高さなどを打ち出すことも多い。しかし、通信制高校が通信教育に特化せず対面による指導や支援を重視する理由は、生徒のニーズに応えるということだけではない。教師は、目の前の生徒の成長や社会適応を促す手段として、対面での関わりを重視していた。この事実は、ICTの活用や遠隔授業等の可能性と限界を見極めるために重要な資料となる。
