<研究ノート>大学と中学校が連携した教育活動における『事例のメタ分析』を用いた研究の可能性

Abstract

In recent years, the importance of cooperation with schools and local communities has increased and how colleges cooperate with local primary/secondary schools became one of the points of issue. However, many of the studies on cooperation between colleges and primary/secondary schools are case reports and it is difficult to say that current status and issues of cooperation between them are summarized. This study considered whether or not "meta-study of qualitative research" is effective for the summarization of current status and issues of cooperation between colleges and secondary schools. A result of this study using "meta-study of qualitative research" showed that it was important for colleges to have open contact for consultation and to structure organizations for cooperation with local communities. On the other hand, there were some problems in the number of cases and the ways the evaluation criteria were set to apply "meta-study of qualitative research" to studies on cooperation between colleges and secondary schools. To make more detailed analyses, the study needs to reconsider the research theme to secure the number of cases or collect cases not only from on-line databases but also through interview surveys.
