Outline of Final Research Achievements

The research has revealed that learning with writing characters and teaching with writing characters to support such learning are characteristics of Japanese learning-teaching culture, through analyses of video-taped classroom interactions in Mathematics in the USA, Italy, Slovenia, and Japan. At a‘Comparing’ phase, which is one of three phases of classroom meeting, ‘Expressing of opinions’,’Comparing’, and ’Forming conclusion’, students tend NOT to compare opinions at all. They just express new opinions as at an ‘Expressing of opinions’phase, or they decide by a majority through ‘Comparing’. It is confirmed that it is adequate to apply a theory of comparison used in comparative education study to the ‘Comparing’ phase of students at classroom meetings.
