Clinical Instruction Experiences :

Notes on the Establishment's Effect on Teaching Participation

Abstract

  Teaching Participation is a Required Subject Which has been established since the year of Heisei 8 (1996), for the freshmen in Shinshu University. This is beyond framework of the present school teachers' certificate's law, and the objective of this subject is to awaken the students' attention to their enthusiasm and their mission of school teachers.

  The Points aimed at the establishment of this subject are the following.

  1. In order to break the limit of the teaching practice oriented in the classroom, a new framework of ‘clinical teaching experience’ is established.

  2. Strengthening of the relationship between Faculty of Education and the attached schools of Shinshu University.

  3. The development of the program of the teachers' training with the vision to the handicapped children.

  4. Accommodating with the five-day school system, the development of teachers' training program in cooperation with the House of Nature Studies for young people.

  Through the students' reports and the result of an investigation, I am convinced that the Teaching Participation program, as a curriculum for students to be a good teacher, has a possibility to create a great fruit.
