創設期の学芸大学における教員組織の形成過程

―設置申請時の教員審査を中心に―

抄録

  This study seeks to clarify the process of faculty establishment during the foundation period of a liberal arts college (a gakugei university) through an investigation of the teacher screening process conducted by the university chartering committees within Osaka Gakugei University and Fukuoka Gakugei University in fiscal year 1948. From this analysis, the following conclusions were drawn.

  First, liberal arts colleges intended to enable as many teachers as possible from normal schools and youth normal schools to become teachers at liberal arts colleges. Therefore, they created an independent hiring criterion that involved experience in educational administration and breadth of liberal arts the applicants underwent teacher screening by the university chartering committee.

  Second, the screening by the university chartering committee was unexpectedly severe, and thus most teachers were not able to pass the screening. For that reason, the liberal arts colleges could not help but place teachers in a special subject disregarding the new curriculum to some degree before the university chartering committee rescreened them.

  Third, this meant that the liberal arts colleges had to postpone the postwar notion of teacher training through the liberal arts.

  Lastly, the university chartering committee took the view that the teaching methods of teachers in charge of subjects were inferior to those of teachers in charge of teaching special subjects with regard to subject knowledge in natural science courses.
