児童の自己理解を促すキャリア教育の実践事例の検討　―強み介入を活用して―

本研究では，公立小学校4年生を対象に，キャリア教育における自己理解能力の育成を目的とし，ポジティブ心理学に基づく性格特性的強み介入 (Character Strengths Intervention：CSI) と将来の夢についての学習を関連付けた学級活動 (３) の授業を行った。本実践を通して，児童は自分の強みを理解し，それを将来に活かそうとする意識が高まるとともに，互いの強みを認め合う活動によって児童同士の関係性の構築が促進された。一方で，学校全体でのキャリア教育の系統性と発展性の検討，強みの活用が難しい児童への個別支援の必要性が今後の課題として指摘された。

This study explored the implementation of Character Strengths Intervention (CSI), rooted in positive psychology, to enhance self-awareness in career education for elementary school students. The intervention targeted 4th-grade students at a public elementary school, aiming to facilitate their recognition and utilization of character strengths in relation to future aspirations. Through structured lessons, students deepened their understanding of personal strengths and developed increased awareness of how to apply these attributes towards their future goals. Moreover, peer-focused activities designed to acknowledge individual strengths contributed to improved interpersonal relationships among students. However, challenges persist, including the need for comprehensive systematic and developmental planning of career education across the entire school, as well as providing tailored support for students who find it difficult to identify and leverage their unique strengths.
