High School Citizenship Education and Sociology Encounters and Possibilities

—“Public” and “Modern (Civil) Society” for Students—

Abstract

I want to confirm the relationship between civic education and sociology. In essence, on-site high school teachers teach without being aware of sociology. Other than educational sociology, it is not a topic in teacher training courses, and because of in-class sickness, general liberal arts sociology is only an elective subject with a civilian license. The principles and mechanisms of constitutional law and economics are well represented in the subjects “modern society” (former curriculum) and “public”. Therefore, we examined the points of contact between sociology and high school students in relation to the context of citizenship education, and considered the possibilities of sociology in the high school civil studies “modern society” (old course) and “public” (new course from 2022).
