An international comparative study about the curriculum development of integrated study and its practice

本研究的目的在于提高综合性学习的质量，促进日本中小学综合性学习课程的开发。为了达到这个目的，我尝试着采访了国外的教师，了解了综合性学习课程的发展情况，并在多个班级进行了课堂观察和录像。并将其编辑成综合性学习的DVD教材。调查的目标国家是芬兰、丹麦、瑞典、荷兰、德国和日本。我们把调查总结印在了这个项目的报告册上。明确了日本的课程开发体制与其他国家不同。他们组成一个小组，在一位领导的指导下合作学习。本研究的结果将有助于厘清教师专业能力，以配合整合学习的课程发展。此外，在教师培训计划中，还可以通过DVD教材提供学习整合学习的信息。

The purposes of this study are to improve the quality of the integrated study, and to promote curriculum development of the integrated study in the Japanese schools. In order to accomplish these purpose, I have tried to interview to teachers in other countries about the curriculum development of the integrated study, and I have observed on the class and shot it with a video camera at many classes. And I have edited them as the DVD teaching materials of the integrated study. The target countries of the investigation are Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, German and Japan. We had printed the summary of investigation in a report booklet of this project. We cleared that the system of the curriculum development in Japan was different from other countries. They constituted a team and studied cooperatively under the advice by a leader. The result of this research will contribute the idea that we will clarify the professional ability of a teacher for the curriculum development of the integrated study. In addition, it can offer the information to learn the integrated study by DVD teaching materials in the teacher training program.
