This course teaches the necessary knowledge about school education for graduate students who are aiming to obtain a specialized
license for teaching personnel, and based on that knowledge, cultivates the ability to think, judge, and solve current educational
problems. When considering educational problems, it is necessary to view them not only as problems within the classroom, but
also from the perspective of their relationship to the home environment and social issues. For that reason, this course will
consider school education problems from a sociological perspective.
The lecture style is that a person in charge is assigned each time, and the basic flow is reading literature → writing a resume → presentation → discussion.
Graduate school lectures are different from undergraduate ones in that students are expected to have their own analysis and opinions, rather than a passive attitude. To do this, students are required to read specialized books related to the topic, deepen their understanding of knowledge and theory, and make an effort to actively discuss.
