Division of Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education
We coraborate with medical care and education to develop a wide range of knowledge
In this department, we aim to develop teachers with accurate theoretical research ability, high expertise, and flexible practical ability by fusing theory and practice. For this purpose, many lesson subjects are taught by a pair of researcher teachers and practitioner teachers / TT (team teaching). In addition, in order to respond to the various interests and issues of students, we have set up 58 diverse lesson subjects, and offer a learning environment where we can collaborate with the results of various academic fields including medicine by taking advantage of a comprehensive university with a medical school and other facilities.
Features to train advanced education practitioners
Cooperation between education and medical care
The curriculum of the Graduate School of Teacher Education incorporates "Collaboration between Education and Medical Care." The curriculum of the Graduate School of Teacher Education incorporates "Collaboration between Education and Medical Care." 1 The goal of "coordination between education and medical care" is not only to acquire the knowledge and skills of medical care through the common basic subject "school life and child health / illness" by a full-time teacher who is a Pediatrics doctor (medical approach), but also to develop the ability to practice education according to the state of mind of each child (clinical educational approach), and to carry out educational activities in consideration of not only the illness but also the constitution of each child, to understand the medical perspective and involvement in special needs education for children with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, etc (Special support educational approach), and to incorporate them into school management (school management / school management approach). In order to put these four approaches into practice, to superimpose the educational content learned in the lecture and the medical content (connecting the content), to build a collaboration between teachers and doctors (building relationship), and to coordinate cooperation with medical institutions (connecting people) are required for Graduate School.
Features of the Division of Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education
A learning environment where students can learn and enhance each other Under the guidance and support of faculty members with a wealth of academic experience, 70% of the courses offered are conducted using the team-teaching method. We prepare curriculum like Group discussions to find issues and exchange opinions, role playing assuming various situations such as student guidance, various fieldwork, practical training at Teikyo University Hospital and related facilities to acquire the ability to think and practice by oneself through study with peers.. In addition, we support students and provide detailed guidance tailored to each individual.
Cooperation between education and medical care At the "Waku Waku Learning Class" on the Itabashi Campus, which was opened in 2011, we provide individual learning support to children and students who stumble due to developmental disorders such as learning disorders and physical disorders while enrolled in regular classes. Students can practically learn the consistent "cooperation between education and medical care" that leads from medical and psychological assessment to learning guidance by specialists in special education. In addition, in 2017, we started an emergency lifesaving course by the Simulation Education and Research Center on the Itabashi Campus. Students can learn life-saving measures and how to deal with various situations envisioned in the field of education from specialized staff using the latest medical equipment.
Learn from a global perspective The overseas school inspection conducted in 2015 became a formal subject as an advanced specialized subject "Overseas School Education Practical Research" from 2016. Since 2018, we have been conducting overseas school education visit surveys centered on schools and social education facilities in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Durham, the United Kingdom. It is an opportunity to deepen the understanding of education in each country and review school education in Japan.
Cooperation with schools and communities Since March 2014, we have been implementing the "Teacher Development Project" with the Tama City Board of Education for the purpose of enhancing and improving school education and developing teachers who have acquired practical leadership skills. In addition to collaboration and joint research with public schools such as Hachioji City, Hino City and Sagamihara City near the Hachioji Campus, it also features "cooperation between education and medical care" with the school / ward Board of Education near the Itabashi Campus where the School of Medicine is located. We promote cooperation with them. Furthermore, in fiscal 2017, we concluded an agreement with the National Institute for School Teachers and Staff, aiming to create a Graduate School of Teacher Education that is connected to teachers, schools, and communities.
Aiming for a Graduate School where students can continue learning In this graduate school, we value the connection and network with educational supporters such as current students, teachers, graduates, and teachers at the training site, and make the best use of the cooperation between education and medical care and the cooperation with schools and communities. Therefore, with the aim of becoming a Graduate School school where students can continue to study not only while they are sin school but also after graduation, we have established a study group where both current students and graduates can study together. At the study group, it is a meaningful time to research and study all cases.
