Today's educational innovations trend to “the school in society” from “society in the school”. But, in school education, this trend has not shown as yet. Is such an educational change possible in school education? And for that purpose, what is required?
We approached this problem by surveying the possibility of cultural facilities centered learning. In this study we surveyed “Takamatsu Shimin Bunka Center Learning”. This learning is assigned to all elementary and secondary schools in Takamatsu City.
The reasons we conducted this survey are as follows: an educational tie-up between school education and social education is necessary for “the school in society”, and Takamatsu Shimin Bunka Center is a model of cultural facilities because it is possible to learn almost all of subjects there, and the intention of the center is matched with ours.
The result showed the possibility of cultural facilities centered learning, if it will be done in Takamatsu City's way. And we can point out the following four requisites for this learning.
1) Promote children's spontaneous learning behavior. On the bases of positive participation and academic curiosity, we must systematize, in various ways, activity, co-operation and a period of study.
2) Prepare the cultural facilities to accept children's various interests.
3) Intend to implement cultural facilities centered learning in cultural facilities.
4) Intend to implement cultural faculities centered learning in school education. Especially it is necessary to raise learning morale on academic subjects.
