I am aiming.As a specific training place, we will collect basic data and practice observations regarding the assessment of children with developmental disorders in collaboration with medical colleges and general hospitals, schools, and parent associations in the Hanshin area.
In Part II, based on the basic data obtained in Part I, each participant will develop a theme and put it into practice at school, advancing research into evidence-based educational methods for children with developmental disabilities. Specifically, at the cooperating research schools, we will comprehensively evaluate assessments such as soft signs of children who require special attention, as well as classroom observations, and propose ideas for physical training activities that can be done through individual or group instruction, how to create an in-school environment, and how to approach classes. We are also working on creating a draft checklist to help participants become aware of children's behaviors that can be observed in school life and the physical conditions that underlie those behaviors.
In addition to this, practical research (action research) aims to solve problems in educational practice that graduate students or their schools are facing, by repeating practice and reflection, keeping in mind the fusion of theory and practice. We are offering a “School Internship”.
