Outline of Final Research Achievements	First, it allowed us to compile about 50 lesson records of "history, social studies, and citizenship studies" in different types of schools, including both university preparatory and non-university preparatory schools, as well as interview records of practitioners' perspectives on teaching. Citizenship education in Austria has been studied as part of institutional and historical research, but this project allowed us to elucidate the characteristics of citizenship education based on the structure of curriculum and instruction. Secondly, it was possible to examine the structure of lesson design from a subject pedagogical perspective by collecting educational practices that responded to real social changes and celebrations, such as the outbreak of political scandals, pre and post elections, the Ukrainian war, and so on. We were able to propose a strategy for citizenship education reform that activates citizenship education by including political education in history education.
Free Research Field	教科教育学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究は，以下の２点で意義がある。第１にオーストリアの政治教育改革を多層的に解明できた学術的意義である。社会変動（ＥＵの影響拡大，移民流入，極右台頭等）との関連で，政治教育のカリキュラム，授業構成・授業実践，教員の政治意識，子どもの学習評価を解明し，歴史教育に政治教育を内包させる教育改革の実態を解明できた。第２に日本の政治教育改革の方向性を示唆できた社会的意義である。社会空間と学校空間の課題を連続させる学校経営，現実社会の論点と教室の論点を接続させるカリキュラムデザイン，歴史問題を現在の政治問題として取扱う教科観と教科指導，専門職としての教師の自律性と政治的自由を支援する風土等が指摘できた。
