Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research has the following two aims. The first is to clarify the method of fostering Japanese students’ ability to apply social studies knowledge and skills. For this purpose, curricula and lessons from Britain and the United States that foster ‘application ability’ were investigated. The second purpose is to develop a lesson structure for social studies in Japan based on the findings. Moreover, a curriculum organization is presented. The lesson structures of ‘Conjugation of the method of academic search’, ‘Concept conjugation’, and ‘Criterion conjugation’ were developed as outcomes of the research. In addition, the organization of the curriculum of the competency base was proposed to clarify the curriculum contents.
