小砂丘忠義の綴り方教育，その思想

抄録

The purpose of this study is to make clear ideas of Sasaoka Tadayoshiʼs teaching of composition. Sasaoka Tadayoshi is called the father of ʻthe composition based on dairy lifeʼ. He was the chief editor of ʻTUZURIKATA SEIKATUʼ that played an important part in early movement of ʻthe composition based on dairy lifeʼ. His ideas were explained by using the word ʻKanjin(perfect person)ʼ or ʻGenshi kodomo (primitive child)ʼ so far. But those words leave to be desired, because those fixed concepts were not enough to explain his ideas comprehensively. This study especially focussed on ʻGenshi kodomoʼ and described the ideas of Sasaoka Tadayoshiʼs teaching comprehensively. The very core of his ideas is ʻrelative independenceʼ. This is the ethos that makes teachers, students, parents, and readers sensible at educational matters. The ethos also encourages people to release from dogma and face up to reality sincerely.
