How can we conduct local learning (or community learning) in an expanded school district under the circumstances of school consolidation? In order to obtain clues to answer this question, we examine whether the consolidation of schools in the elementary schools of mountainous Totsukawa Village, Nara Prefecture has led to any changes in local studies, and whether local studies lead to pupils becoming more interested in the local areas. First, we interviewed teachers about the content of local learning before and after the consolidation of schools and the impact of the consolidation. In addition, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the children in order to clarify whether or not the local studies led to the children becoming interested in and proud of the community in which they live. As a result, it was found that although the consolidation of schools will make it difficult to implement activities closely related to local people, it is important to create a system for local learning that includes local people and parents. Moreover, although interest in the local area increases in the lower and middle grades, in order to sustain this interest in the upper grades and to increase the students' attachment to the local area, it is considered effective to conduct local studies in a way that matches the interests of each child.

学校統廃合により学校区が広域化した十津川村の地域学習がどのように変化していったのかを、副読本の分析をもとに明らかにする。大きな変化は、説明文を中心とした読み物教材の形から、インタビュー内容の掲載や、子どもたちに自分たちで調べる、やってみることを促す記述の増えた教科書準拠型になったことである。また、内容の変化としては、歴史についての記述が減り、暮らしに関することや環境・災害に関する記述が増えた。さらに、学校統合前後でも、副読本の内容の変化が見られた。
