題材「すてきな贈り物〜メッキを利用した身近で使う工芸品〜」の実践的研究

抄録

The purpose of this research was to empirically verify the effectiveness of two hypotheses using the theme "A lovely present-personal handicrafts made with plating" as a model. The first is the theoretical hypothesis that through unselfish activities students acquire something universal, and in this way personal work shapes the person. The second is the hypothesis that the appreciation gained in the process of making "prototypes for producing works" is effectual in education. We can envision that this carefully acquired appreciation will add breadth and depth to ideas, and motivate means of expression. As for the potential in subject matter, there is the potential of leading to harmony with others and a cooperative society, to communicate, at the stage of introducing the meaning of "presents", the fact that acts of social significance restore the dignity of man (humanity ). Moreover, making the works students produce presents to their family members was planned to direct their self-awareness to family affection.
