Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

初等教育と中等教育前期を１つの組織的ユニットでとらえ、その教育的取組を実際に効果的に進めるために何が必要か、教員の資質能力や役割を明らかにしていく研究は、我が国はもとより国際的にも研究はあまりなされてこなかった。調査結果に基づき、効果的な実践を支援する研修プログラムやそこで利用する道具の開発及び、その運用評価する研究も希であった。ここで明らかにされた研究知見は、教育工学研究における教師教育の知見の蓄積。さらに国が注目してきた学び続ける教員，そして中教審「チームとしての学校の在り方と今後の改善方策」に対しても、特別な視点（小中一貫教育、義務教育学校の枠組み）で、情報及び知見の提供が可能となる。
