Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focused on the theory and practice of classroom management in the international progressive education movement. In this study,I analyzed Japanese reformers' reception of social principles such as democracy, cooperation, and communication advocated by American progressive education. Through this analysis, I clarified how Japanese reformers formulated their theories of classroom management and the practices they carried out. Previous studies had indicated that the reformers contended there was a need for a reduction in the number of students in a classroom. They were also deemed to employ a political model in a classroom, building in government-like laws and executive bodies. However, this study pointed out that their theories and practices varied, because some reformers disagreed with this assertion and thought highly of diversity in a large group, group formation according to students'interests, and interactions between groups with common interests.
