In response to the development of the information society, the informatization of education is proceeding at a rapid pace,
with programming education becoming compulsory in elementary schools, the subject of "information" being reorganized in high
schools, and "Information (Informatics)" being added to the Common University Entrance Test. Furthermore, school education
is in the process of changing as ICT is being promoted in school operations. In this class, we call this trend "information
and media education." In addition, we will redefine education not only within the context of schools, but also within the
larger framework of today's advanced digital information society. We will focus not only on the content of education, but
also on the methods of education and how their position in society develops and changes.
The aim of the course is to provide students with an overarching awareness of the relationship between schools, education
and the digital society, an understanding of the historical development of information and media education and the main theories
and debates, and the ability to critically analyze current issues.
- To be able to read and understand research papers and texts in Japanese and English on information and media education, digital society, technology and education.
- To be able to acquire critical views of information and media education and be able to analyze them critically.
- To be able to understand the research, investigation and evaluation methods of sociology and informatics (information science and information engineering) and be able to write research papers and case studies.
- To be able to design curriculum and lessons for information and media education according to the target audience and objective.
