Subsequent to the 2007 special needs education reform in Japan, the number of SNSAs has been increased for each municiparity. However, through surveys to boards of education and teachers, previous research has pointed out that there was an urgent need to clarify the duties of SNSAs. Therefore, in order to collect data on SNSAs’ duties from the viewpoint of SNSAs with reference to coordination with related parties, a questionaire survey was conducted on 85 SNSAs. The results showed that approximately 80 % of SNSAs had teacher certification. Also it was found that 90 % of them were placed in regular classrooms. A few tasks were identified as follows: (1) Since an SNSA is responsible for multiple grade of classes per week, students in the lower grades of elementary schools, who usually have more need for support from SNSAs, seem not to get enough support. (2) Some SNSAs take on duties other than their responsibilities. It was suggested, on the one hand, that SNSAs need to fully understand their status in schools and perform their duties accordingly. On the other hand, schools also need to improve understanding on what is the proper range of duties of SNSAs among school personnel, and explore how to utilize SNSAs by, for example, securing sufficient time for preliminary discussions with SNSAs.}, pages = {109--115}, title = {特別支援教育支援員の現状と課題 : 支援員への質問紙調査を通して}, volume = {61}, year = {2012}, yomi = {フルタ, ヒロコ and フルタ, ヒロコ} }
