Basic and Practical Way of Organizing the Curriculum of Welfare as a part of the Period for Integrated Study

本研究的目的是组织新的福利学习课程，让学生根据学生的发展阶段和就读的学校类型，通过系统的在校体验和学习来获得福利思维和技能。这项研究的领域主要包括神户的小学、初中和高中，这项研究是在神户市学校委员会的合作下进行的。学校的教学福利是融合学习时期的问题之一。2005年，在与市学校董事会联合研究的过程中，丹麦开展了实地工作，在那里，福利教育不仅在学校，而且在整个社会都在进行。2006年，作为实地考察的结果，本研究聚焦于残障学生的特殊支持教育或教育。2007年2月，作为该项目的主要部分，市学校董事会举行了一次公开研讨会，由文部科学省特别支持教育司古川雅人先生作了Keystone演讲。通过这个项目，已经确认应该有一个Pew课程，使所有的学生都能获得他们的福利思维，并促进‘特殊支持教育’。基于此，并考虑到综合学习期间福利教育的现状，2007年与神户市学校委员会的联合研究报告了这一情况，从神户的学校和其他地区的学校收集了教材样本。这些样本对制定新的福利研究课程非常有用。从这些资料来看，对学生有吸引力的福利学习班是有实际意义的。在此报告我三年来对这一问题的研究结果。

The purpose of this research is to organize new curriculums of welfare study, in which students can acquire welfare mindsets and skills through systematic experiences and studies at school, according to stages of the student's development and the type of school attended. The field of this research encompasses mainly elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools in Kobe, and this research is conducted with cooperation from the Kobe Municipal School Board. Teaching welfare at school is one of the issues in the Period for Integrated Study.In 2005, in the course of the joint research with the municipal school board, field work was conducted in Denmark, where welfare education, based 'Normalization'is practiced not only in schools but in the whole society. In 2006, as the result of the field work, this research was focused on special support education or education for handicapped students. In February, 2007, as the main part of this project, a municipal school board sponsored public symposium was held and the keystone lecture was made by Mr. Furukawa Masato, from the department of Special Support Education in Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Through this project, it has been confirmed that there should be a pew curriculum, which enables all students to acquire their welfare mindsets and promote 'special support education'..Resulting from this and with consideration to the present situations of welfare education in the Period for Integrated Study, which are reported in the joint research with Kobe Municipal School Board, in 2007, samples of the teaching materials were collected from schools in Kobe and from schools in other areas. These samples were very useful for creating the new curriculums for welfare study. From these materials, welfare-study classes attractive to the students are in practical use. The results of my three years' research on this matter are reported here.
