Abstract
Japan’s post-war philosophy on teacher training focused on raising peoples’ levels of knowledge and cultivation by imparting them with specialized knowledge and training as well as experience in academics and the arts to make individual teachers into well-rounded individuals. However, as times have changed, the specialized field of teacher training has been revised to incorporate greater hands-on training and relevancy. Due to these circumstances, the specialty area of Curriculum Research and Development in teacher training has been recognized, to the point where there is currently a need for specialized School Subject Content Education. Academic research on School Subject Content Education is focused on creating specialized and original teacher training by revising current school subject specialization from a hands-on perspective. This means that understanding of school subject content in the context of education is deepened, which automatically leads to expansion and development of School Subject Content Education.
