本研究は教科横断的な視点に立ち、特に国語と理科の連携による言語能力育成カリキュラムの構築を目的としていた。研究成果実績としては以下の通り。
【カリキュラム開発と実施】（対象：中等部２年）
7月4・6日　合同授業①「三角ロジックを用いて天気予報を行う」（2時間）
→「三角ロジック」（国語）の思考法を用い、天気図（事実）から天気予想（主張）を行うグループワークを実施。事実と主張の間をつなぐ理由づけにおける既有知識も確認し、発表を実施した。論理的な言語能力を高め、活用する学びとなった。事後の生徒コメントから社会や数学でも如上の方略を転移させられる気づきを得た者が認められた。
12月7日　合同授業②「ハザードマップを用いて防災俳句を作る」（2時間）
→『おくのほそ道』における「最上川」の句の防災性に着目し、ハザードマップを用いて防災俳句を詠むグループワークを実施し、発表を通じて共有した。自然の事物・現象を読者の感興を引く言葉として具象化する過程で両教科の見方・考え方を交錯させる学びとなった。
3月10日　合同授業③「春のニュースを作る」（4時間）
→構成主義的なワークシートを用いて「春のニュース」動画を制作するグループワークを実施し、発表を通じて共有化した後、自己評価を行った。教科を横断したパフォーマンス課題に取り組む中で、協働する力や、伝える力、感性・表現・創造の力を育む実践となり、言語を駆使して教科間の学びを結びつける教訓をも引き出す実践となった。

10月 7日　広島大学附属福山中・高等学校
10月20日　広島大学附属中・高等学校
→複数テクストを活用した実践、学習者の問いに着目した実践、ICTを駆使しデータを活用する実証的な実践に加え、年間を通じた探究活動を視察した。それぞれ教科目標と学習者状況を踏まえ、内容を精緻化する授業デザインであり、教科横断のカリキュラム開発、実践の視点を得た。
This research took a cross-curricular perspective and aimed to build a curriculum for language skill development, especially through collaboration between Japanese language and science education. The results of the research are described below.
Curriculum development and implementation(Participants: Second-year junior high school students)
July 4 and 6: Joint class 1 "Forecasting the weather using Triangle Logic" (2 hours)
→Group work was conducted to forecast the weather (assertion) from weather charts (facts) using the "Triangle Logic" , taught in Japanese education. The students also confirmed their existing knowledge in reasoning to connect facts and assertions, and performed a presentation. The students improved their logical language skills and learned how to use them. From the students' comments after the class, it was recognized that some of the students gained insights that they can transfer such a skill to social studies and mathematics.
December 7 Joint class 2 "Write Disaster Prevention Haiku Using Hazard Maps" (2 hours)
→Focusing on the disaster-preventive view of the "Mogami River" in "Okunohosomichi," participants composed disaster-preventive haiku using hazard maps, and shared their ideas through their presentations. In the process of embodying natural things and phenomena in words that would be inspiring the readers, the students learned how to connect their perspectives and ideas from both Japanese and science education.
March 10 Joint class 3 "Making Spring News" (4 hours)
→ Group work, to create "Spring News video crips" using a constructivist worksheet, was conducted, and shared through their presentations, with self-assessment. In working on a cross-curricular performance task, the students learned mainly following three abilities; collaboration, presentation, "seusitivity / expression / and creativity". Also, this practice became lessons for connecting learning across subjects through using of language.
Observation tour
October 7: Hiroshima University Junior and Senior High School, Fukuyama
October 20: Hiroshima University Junior and Senior High School
→The researchers observed the practice of utilizing multiple texts, focusing on learners' questions, and empirical practice of utilizing ICT and data, as well as year-round inquiry activities. Each of the lesson designs was based on subject goals and learner situations and elaborated on the content, and researchers gained perspectives on cross-curricular curriculum development and implementation.
