Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we incorporated art methods into school education in art classes. The art method in this study is a collaborative problem-solving method that uses diversity, and we aimed to develop subjects that would enable children to confront the diversity of sexuality.
As a result, we developed and tested three subjects in collaboration with a sexual minority. The results showed that the activities of expression and appreciation conducted in art classes were effective in helping children understand the diversity of themselves and others, including sexuality. The results of this study are summarized in a report that includes the flow of developed materials so that they can be widely used in schools.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

性の多様性について理解を促進するために、学校教育全体を通して性の多様性を扱った実践がで求められている。しかしこれまでに美術科・図画工作科においては実践が行われてこなかった。本研究においてセクシュアル・マイノリティ当事者と３つの題材を開発したことは、美術科・図画工作科における今後の実践の広がりに向けた第一歩を示したといえる。また開発した題材を広く公開し学校現場において活用できるようにすることで、子どもたちの性の多様性への理解促進に貢献することが期待できる。
