Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although children with developmental disabilities have problems with not only learning difficulties but also with sociality and peer relationships, research on teaching in regular classes is still delayed. Combining "learning how to learn" learning with cooperative learning made teachers do universal designed instruction that corresponds to the various cognitive characteristics of developmental disorders as well as the learning content of other typical developmental children. Furthermore, school-wide efforts may be useful.
This study aimed to develop a teacher training program, various materials, and teaching materials to carry out learning strategy learning throughout the school and at home.
As a result, a whole-school program for "learn how to learn" learning centered on integrated learning, in-service teacher training materials, and Practice Start Kit(PSK) was completed.
