The purpose of this study is to analyze lessons using ICT in upper secondary schools and to examine the educational significance of “sharing” notes, works, and so on. Analysis of World History and Chemistry classes at the school where tablets were used was conducted using interpretative phenomenology. The following steps were used in the analysis: 1) field note lesson records were created while observing the lessons, 2) words were extracted from the lesson records and descriptive coding was performed using words and short phrases, 3) pattern coding was performed, and 4) themes were generated. As a result, the following pedagogical meanings of “sharing the results of individual work” were identified: 1) sharing without any room for embarrassment, 2) secondary use of a part/whole of a file through sharing and selection, and 3) fair selection criteria for references. Based on the results, this paper further discusses the reconsideration of sharing in the age of one terminal per person, the creation of classes for sharing, and the significance of sharing artifacts.
