Abstract
This article aims to examine the relationship between learning and teacher education at universities. The outline is as follows:
1) The author received primary school teacher education at Kobe University, which had a decisive influence. That is, a sense of fulfillment after learning pedagogy in some seminars became a starting point for the author to consider receiving teacher education.
2) In teacher education, one of the most crucial topics is that a non-negligible number of students have lost the active motivation to learn. Accordingly, it is important to inquire about and discipline their view of education and to let them experience the pleasure of learning.
3) For students, the author emphasizes reading books and researching in libraries. Through these two experiences, students will recognize that learning requires intellectual modesty and persistence. This is the real charm of university education compared to primary and secondary education, where the correct answers are provided.
4) It is undesirable that specialized subjects are disesteemed in teacher education today. To enrich teacher education, it is essential to discipline both students and teachers at the university level through learning and art, which are specialized subjects. In this sense, teacher education should return to the real nature of university education.
