Abstract
The school education in the year of 2020 had a severe circumstance under the restriction of so-called “San-Mitsu”, Three Cs: 1. Closed spaces with poor ventilation, 2. Crowded place with many people, and 3. Close-contact settings to avoid the New COVID-19, where the major method of the education counseling, Structured Group Encounter, as well as a pair Conversation, and/or Group Work could not be operated. It was especially important how to teach the new way of living style to the students in the Special Needs Class. On the other hand, practicing “the Independent and conversational deep learning,” avoiding the 3C’s, it was essential to lead a class where students can come without worry and to set up a study friendly environment. In order to achieve these objectives, 2 educational methods were operated: 1. Common understanding of the conversation with the classmates, and 2. Study construction to exchange ideas with the classmates through learning new information about COVID-19 from the electronic version of the newspaper, by means of the close connection with their parents. After three months of these 2 operation practices, individual interest, friendly atmosphere in the class and interactive friendships were observed.
