A developmental curriculum that trains teachers who "connect the individuality of children" and "connect the education system"

 The newly established development curriculum has four specializations.In recent years, dealing with the diversity of child development has become an issue in educational settings.

 The first mission of the developmental curriculum is to train teachers who "connect the individuality of children."The rate of child development is not the same.The difference is not "slow / fast" but "individuality".And education according to the individuality is now required.

 Therefore, in the "Special Support Education Specialization", you will understand the diversity of development, which is the individuality of children, and acquire the educational ability to respond to it.Especially, you will acquire it not only in childhood and studenthood, but also in the development span that begins in early childhood.It is expected that the students who have studied in this special course will not only work at a special school and demonstrate their expertise, but also demonstrate leadership in special needs education at an elementary school.


 By the way, in addition to the "difference in the speed of development", there are also individualities such as "shy child" and "unbearable child" in the individuality of the child.For parents, the individuality of these children is also a "great concern."Therefore, in the "Children's Psychoeducation Specialization", we will broadly study psychology including counseling-related subjects, and develop teachers who have the ability to deal with children with these individualities and parents who have children's growth and anxiety. ..

 Also, the education system for children in the developing stage is not uniform.Therefore, the second mission of the developmental curriculum is to train teachers who "connect the educational system."In the school curriculum mentioned above, we train teachers who understand "learning subjects" from elementary school to high school, but this is also a response based on social demands.

 Now, the major problem with the educational system for children in the developing stage is the cooperation between early childhood education and elementary school.Early childhood education in kindergartens and nursery schools and education in elementary schools Learning subjects in elementary schools) For example, in kindergartens, comprehensive learning that is directly linked to daily life is conducted across subjects, and with a small number of people. There is a difference between what was learned a lot, but in elementary school, activities in large groups are sometimes required, and more and more children are confused by these changes.

 Therefore, we will set up a "primary collaborative education specialization" to train teachers who are familiar with early childhood education and elementary school education and who "connect the education system" of young children.In addition to learning about teacher training in kindergarten and elementary school, we also offer courses such as "elementary cooperation curriculum theory" and "childhood connection education content theory" to reduce the confusion of children when transitioning from early childhood education to elementary school education. To acquire teacher power that "connects learning".

 In addition, early childhood education has a kindergarten and a nursery school, each of which has its own characteristics.In addition, a system such as the "Certified Children's Garden" that combines both functions is expanding.A teacher who "connects" these systems is also required, and a traditional "infant psychology education specialization" has also been set up.However, it is not uncommon for universities to be qualified as kindergarten teachers and nursery teachers.However, in the learning of kindergarten teacher training in the developmental curriculum, you will understand the cooperation with elementary school education from the system.In addition, we will train early childhood educators who can also study psychology and respond to "parental support for child-rearing".Here are the features and significance.
