| タイトル | Teacher training in Citizenship Education as a Means to ESD in Japan ― A Study of Citizenship Education in the England ― |
| 内容 | Japan along with many other countries, incorporated education for Sustainable Development(ESD) as part of mainstream education depending on the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD, 2005~2014). However, ESD is not sufficiently popular in school education. One cause, there is a problem consciousness that there is insufficient education on ESD at the teacher training stage, which is the motivation for conducting this research. Citizenship education has been conducted in the public education since 2002 in the England. Citizenship education in the England is active citizenship, which raised the political participation rate of young people. In this research, PGCE (Post graduate certificate in education) provided by six universities was investigated and the differences were analyzed. From that point, at any university in PGCE, "knowledge and understanding", "teaching skill" and "professional skill" as defined by professional standards for the award of Qualified Teacher Status, three things were trained. However, the proportion was different among universities, and the method was found to be diverse. I concluded that Citizenship education in the England can give suggestions in teacher training for ESD in Japan "to allow for a certain level of maintenance and diversity of teacher training." |
| 講評 | Befitting a seminar dedicated to examining educational developments on a global scale, this year’s graduation theses span a world of topics. Several examine how cultures change (or remain the same) as they cross traditional borders. Some focus on educational practices specific to Japan, looking to place them in a global context. Others look at global trends that, for one reason or another, have yet to be fully integrated into Japan. Two papers are comparative studies, contrasting policies across national borders. The most popular theme this year was ESD, with a total of four related papers. Several papers rely heavily on newspaper archives, while others are based primarily on interviews. All of the papers contain sections that are thoroughly original, evidencing the effort of seminar members to either work with new topics or take new approaches to more familiar themes. Naturally, in addition to the normal challenges of researching and writing, all of the students wrote their final papers in English using at least some English-language materials. I am proud of the students’ work and convinced that the process of researching and writing has enrichened their intellectual growth. Well done! |
