| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to develop “classroom history” as an alternative research and practice method, and to demonstrate its effect on classroom management in Japanese elementary schools. Digital ethnography was employed for one year to clarify the process of classroom development in the lessons of Tokkatsu (Special Activities) curriculum. The data were obtained from two classrooms of third graders, one classroom of fifth-graders and two classrooms of sixth-graders in which the method of classroom history was used. The major findings are as follows: (1) developing classroom as a narrative community had facilitative effects on autonomous problem solving and culture creation by pupils; and (2) the method of classroom history promoted group reflection on classroom and established the classroom identity.
