Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Japan, there are development of practices about many types of learning outsides so-called traditional-typed schools: for examples, free school/space for children who don’t go to schools and alternative education/ schools based on a variety of educational theories. As a result of this research, it is clarified that, in this Japanese society of school-centered system, the institutionalization of these educational practices about many types of learning will enhance the assurance for the possibilities that children create their learning themselves and develop the publicness of education. In addition, in order to realize the institutionalization, it is necessary to assure the publicness of education more from civil society and to present a concrete model of the system and support to practically assure the child rights to learning, as attempting to overcome the school-centered social system.
