    RESEARCH REPORT / TECHNICAL REPORT OPEN ACCESS
    Looking back at the history of Japanese medical ethics in the 1970s, Hisayuki Omodaka advocated assertive responses to environmental problems as well as the importance of the doctor-patient relationship. Taro Takemi said that the advent of the welfare state led to questions about the better survival of human beings. Shigeichi Sunahara mentioned the need to review medical research from a social perspective. Yonezo Nakagawa stated the need to grasp the features of medicine that cannot be reduced to science. He also mentioned Van R. Potter’ s book “Bioethics” and argued that discussions of human survival are part of medical ethics. Based on the above, we can confirm that issues related to bioethics that became prevalent in the 1980s had already been debated in the 1970s in Japan, and discussions on environmental ethics such as the better survival of human beings were also conducted.

  • Die Konsenstheorie der Wahrheit ohne Idealisierung

    In diesem Aufsatz handelt es sich um die Konsenstheorie der Wahrheit( KTW) von Habermas. Die KTW besagt, dass der Wahrheitsbegriff durch den Rechtfertigungsbegriff definiert wird. Seit seinem “Wahrheit und Rechtfertigung” verteidigt er eine neue Version der KTW, die sich nicht auf die ideale Sprechsituation stützt. Die KTW ohne Idealisierung hängt vom Reliabilismus des Wissens ab. Trotzdem besteht das Ziel dieses Aufsatzes darin, die konstitutive Rolle des Arguments bei der KTW ohne Idealisierung zu charakterisieren.

    In science education, the implementation of active learning approaches to teaching has been increasing. This approach to teaching places the responsibility of self-directed learning on the student. Students must be active in the learning process and relate what information they acquire to their environment. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Tokyo Medical and Dental University encourages instructors to incorporate active learning in their curricula as a means to cultivate self-directed learners. In the College, one elective undergraduate general biology course being taught in English to freshman provided this active learning environment. To ensure motivation and performance outcomes, a three-step scaffolding of tasks was implemented. This scaffolding approach supported students with varying English and biology knowledge backgrounds. Here, the implementation of this scaffolding approach will be described followed by an analysis of how this approach can help other instructors attempting to implement active learning tasks in their courses.
