Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to solve the long-standing problem in high school Japanese language classes of “students having low motivation to learn because they don't understand the significance of classical works for themselves and society”, the following was done. (1) Modeling of the structure of classical reading comprehension, including the level of “utilizing classical works in practical situations”. (2) Development of a teaching model and evaluation criteria that can be put into practice in high schools across the country. The results are as follows. In (1), we pointed out the importance of the ability to “link information”, which leads to intertextual reading. In (2), we developed “evaluation criteria” for “relating oneself to classical teaching materials”, as well as “classroom models”, “evaluation criteria” and “criteria for selecting teaching materials” for “creating dialogue with the classics”.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまでの古典教育研究において、〈実践的な場面で古典を活用できる力〉の育成を目的とした研究はほとんどなく、そのためこうした「授業モデル」や叙上の学力を評価する枠組みや指標が未開発であった。そこで本研究では、〈実践的な場面で古典を活用できる力〉の育成に関わって、全国の高等学校で実践可能な「授業モデル」や「評価指標」の開発、及び「教材選択の基準」について提案した。このことによって、より多くの高等学校での授業改善に資することができると考える。ここに本研究成果の学術的意義や社会的意義がある。
