タイトル Cultivating Creativity: A Study of LTA and Japanese Arts Education
内容 To survive in knowledge-based societies, children need to acquire higher thinking skills. One of the most needed skills is creativity. It is key to innovation and critical to many fields. To cultivate creativity, arts education has received increased attention, with many arts education programs emerging around the world. In Japan, however, despite the clear need for arts education, schools still focus on the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic. In arts classes, focus tends to be on technical skills rather than on nurturing creativity. Fault, in the part, was with the gap between teacher conception of art education and the Education Ministry’s art education guideline. The Learning Through Arts (LTA) program, conducted by the Solomon R. Guggenheim museum, is a new type of art education. It cultivates student creativity and academic skills by artists teaching children art in collaboration with major subjects such as math, science, and history. Would the LTA program work in Japan? Taking into consideration the relationship between creativity and art education, today’s Japanese art education problem, and the Artists Studio in a School (ASIAS) project which is Japanese program similar to LTA, this paper are considers the universality of LTA and the future of Japanese art education.
講評 This is the first year for our department to have a “Globalization and Education” seminar. The seminar has covered a broad range of topics from multiple perspectives, and this is reflected in the tremendous diversity of graduation thesis topics. In addition, all students wrote their theses in the language of globalization, English. Despite this challenge, they produced a well-researched and well-written collection of papers that addresses the impact of globalization on education from various angles using a wide variety of sources. Congratulations to all of you!
