Details 小学校—大学間コラボレーションプロジェクトの開発についての理論と計画と実践例について考察。

Bukkyo University commenced its Public Sector Based Elementary School-University Collaborative Projects for teacher education in 2005, winning a Good Practice Award (GP) immediately for 2005-2006. This presentation discusses one of these projects—the Teaching Practice Program. From this Program it has become clear that the fusion of inductive and deductive approaches in direct teaching experience in elementary schools, along with university seminars on education theory, has provided student teachers with a unique, solid foundation of academic, theoretical, practical and personal skills necessary to commence their professional careers immediately as “learner-centered” teachers with a “development perspective”.
