Development and Evaluation of Educational Programs for University Students at Tojogaoka Historical Park

Abstract

In this study, we developed and tested a two-hour fieldwork educational program for university students at Tojogaoka Historical Park, which is adjacent to the Faculty of Horticulture, Chiba University. As a result, the university students who took the program deepened their understanding of history and the Tokugawa family, and broadened their horizons. Historical parks and gardens had a positive image, such as being a place to recover from fatigue, being an educational place, a place to leave for posterity, a good place to think about things and think about yourself, and a useful place to connect to historical things when learning about plants and trees.
