Ryo Morita, "Trends in research and practical issues regarding art and craft instruction in special support schools for physically disabled children - A review of domestic literature"
Morita Ryo's paper provides useful knowledge that contributes to the outlook for future research by clarifying the research trends and practical issues in art and craft instruction at special needs schools for physically disabled children. In addition, this is a review paper that has never been nominated for an art education award, but this research has conducted a detailed investigation of previous research, making literature research one of the research methods. The collection procedure took into account not only databases but also hand searches, and the paper was constructed based on carefully selected papers and was carried out in good faith. The analysis and classification of the literature was also carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. In particular, in the qualitative analysis, categories and subcategories were formed inductively to derive the argument. It is expected that the paper will be recognized as having follow-up value in this field and will become a stepping stone for wider research in the future.
Last year, Liao Shitong (graduated from the doctoral program, currently a lecturer at Yamagata University, supervised by Ishizaki Kazuhiro) also received the same award.
