Undergraduate Education: Primary Education Course / Secondary Education Course

Life Partner Program

Through practical training at elementary/junior high schools and visit to the pupils at home, students can assist pupils/students who have worries or other problems to gain confidence and independence by having a conversation, playing with pupils, and their learning support.
By experiencing these environments and repeating case conferences in class, students can learn, in a practical way, the difficulty of actual education environments and the importance of responsibility.

Network of Inquiry

This is a class program held for students studying to be teachers to deepen their understanding and specialized skills in terms of non-textbook curricula such as the integrated study and special activities classes.
Classes help to increase their knowledge of curriculum theory, and every other Saturday between May and December, elementary and junior high school students gather at the university to participate in exploration activities such as puppet shows, making hot air balloons, cooking and street corner surveys.

Graduate Education: School Education / Professional Development of Teachers

School Based System

Students from the Graduate School of Education are sent to school sites, so the classrooms for the Graduate School are in fact those of elementary and junior high schools (affiliated schools, cooperating schools).
Teaching staff and research students look at the issues faced by the school and work together to create practical solutions.
