项目摘要

This study project has pursued the optimization of the project method type learning in Japan. For this purpose, the individual researcher worked for collecting the data of practical issues of curriculum development in the individual school. Among those issues, it is most difficult to find the topic and establish the adequate method of inquiry into the topic. The most important skills for teachers' professional development is to understand the children's needs and their own perspectives of what kinds of abilities the children need to develop for the future goal.The children's needs does not emarge in the empty environment but are generated from their interaction with environment. The teacher's professional skill is to steer the children's needs and bring up those needs to the future oriented goals. For building up the environment of those children's interaction, we found that it is more facilitating for the children's motivation for inquiry to start with the activities integrating with the traditional subject type learning and school activities such as extra curricula. We also found the more important facilitating resources for the project method learning. The internet is a very important tool for expanding the information network for the project method learning. The human resources in the communities are also important factors advancing the project method learning.After those findings, we attempted to search for the experiences of integrated curricula in other countries. It is also indispensable for us to learn the history of the integrated curricula because we are likely to ignore the values that the predecessors have developed in the past.

本研究项目追求日本项目式学习的优化。为此，个别研究者致力于收集个别学校课程开发实际问题的数据。其中，最难的是找到主题并建立适当的探究方法。教师专业发展最重要的技能是了解孩子的需求，以及他们自己对孩子未来目标需要发展什么样的能力的看法。孩子的需求不是在空虚的环境中显现出来的，而是在他们的互动中产生的与环境。老师的专业技能是引导孩子们的需求，并将这些需求提升到面向未来的目标。为了营造孩子们互动的环境，我们发现从传统学科型学习和课外活动等学校活动相结合的活动入手，更能激发孩子们的探究动机。我们还找到了更重要的项目方法学习的促进资源。互联网是拓展项目法学习信息网络的一个非常重要的工具。社区的人力资源也是推进项目法学习的重要因素。基于这些发现，我们尝试寻找其他国家整合课程的经验。我们学习综合课程的历史也是必不可少的，因为我们很可能会忽视前人过去发展起来的价值观。
