教師と子どもの「主体的協働参加」による教材の再解釈

「正統的周辺参加」論からの「主体性」の問い直しによって

抄録

Currently the pursuit of children’s autonomous involvement and teacher’s initiative in the selection, decision, manner of utilization, and contents of educational materials are tend to be considered conflicting. However, questioning it from a view point of "autonomy" which can be interpreted from "Legitimate Peripheral Participation" theory by Jean Lave & Etienne Wenger, it is contemplated that they are not at all conflicting but children’s autonomous involvement in educational materials is better guaranteed by teachers properly exercising their initiative. Educational materials in this context are not entrenched, but are considered to be re- constructed and updated continuously. In this paper, I will discuss that educational materials are reconstructed and metamorphosed in a dynamic context in which teachers and children recognize their responsibilities in practice and autonomously participate in activities cooperating with each other.
