Abstract
The purpose of this paper is a fundamental consideration of development of a teacher training program on Integrated and Cross-Domain Fine Arts Education. First, we investigated the teacher training programs of all Japanese prefectures and major (ordinance-designated) cities. Second, based on recent reports and survey findings, we derived the problems and viewpoints of development programs and presented the composition and method for development of a teacher training program on Integrated and Cross-Domain Fine Arts Education. Third, we carried out the teacher training program as devised. This resulted in a change of consciousness in the trainees. In conclusion, this study realized the needs of teacher training on Integrated and Cross-Domain Fine Arts Education, and was able to provide prospects for future practice.
