道徳科授業に対する若手教員の「困り感」 : アンケート調査の結果分析を通して

This study aims to identify young teachers’ concerns regarding moral education classes. Recently, the number of young teachers in elementary and junior high schools has increased, and improving their teaching skills has become the most pressing issue. The capacity of moral teaching needs to be enhanced, especially to address the problem of bullying among children. However, many teachers find it difficult to teach moral lessons. Therefore, this study identifies young teachers’ concerns regarding moral teaching; based on the results, we plan to develop a guidebook for moral education classes. A total of 46 young elementary school teachers and 90 young middle school teachers were surveyed. The results revealed that the following items had high numbers: Structure of classes (I would like to know various styles of classes). Questions (I want to know what kind of questions children think well). Development of classes (to attract children’s interest). Summary (I would like to know how to summarize without imposing teacher’s values). Response to children’s comments (I want to know how to respond to unexpected comments). Board writing (I want to know how to write on the board in a way that is easy for children to understand).
