Outline of Final Research Achievements

We constructed an individual-based longitudinal/panel data for various information related to children's human capital, by which are held by the Board of Education of Adachi Ward in Tokyo Metropolitan City. The total number of children we can follow-up by this data is approximately 0.5 million.
The results show thatthere is a significant correlation between financial support and the development of children's academic ability and obesity; academic ability and physical strength and lifestyle; there is variation in school's and teacher's capability to improve children's academic ability by using value-added model, etc. Futher, we clarified that the early intervention would benefit to improve scholastic ability; and that about 30% of the top 20% of the students went to private junior high schools outside Adachi ward when they graduate primary school. These achievements were discussed not only in the academic society but also in policy discussion at Adachi Ward assembly.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は,行政との協働の下,日本で初めて10年間にわたり個々の児童・生徒の学力・体力・生活習慣等を追跡可能なデータを構築し,今日の教育政策における世界的な関心事でありながら,これまで日本では実施が困難であった「因果推論」に基づく科学的根拠の創出を可能とする土台を作ったことにある.こうしたデータの解析により,より効果的かつ効率的に教育行政運営を行うために、東京都や国に提示可能な具体的かつ客観的な行政資料を作成することができる.したがって,本研究の成果は,エビデンスに基づく教育施策を実現しようとする昨今の国や文部科学省の諸施策に対するモデルケースを提示することになるだろう.
