The purpose of this study is to clarify teacher's practical knowledge of curriculum design by examining a case study of teacher's unit design. In the Curriculum study, applies the focus to a famous pedagogist and teacher is not researched so much. Also, in the teacher's knowledge study, teacher's knowledge for lesson study has been not enough studies the knowledge of curriculum design, because the teacher was regarded as a curriculum user, not a curriculum designer. But, to expand school-based curriculum development, it is necessary to examine the teacher's knowledge. In this case study focused on one teacher's process of unit design. The teacher's name is Mr. Yukio Yoshimoto. He is a famous as curriculum designer especially integrated study. I have been observing how he designs the curriculum for five years. His curriculum design reflected his belief and intuition. I considered his practical knowledge by his narrative. At the interview, I asked how the curriculum designed with his belief and educational view. The question of the interview was pulled out from a unit table (syllabus) and writing written by him. In addition, I examined the film of his teaching practice. As a finding of this case study, the practical knowledge is characterized as the three points, because Mr. Yoshimoto had used practical knowledge, which differs according to the situation. Following three points: (1) Method knowledge: It is original method to design the curriculum. For example, Mr. Yoshimoto made much of an encounter with children and professionals. He accumulated and maintained the original method as knowledge. (2) Personal knowledge: This knowledge is derived from his personal experience: his teaching experience and idea that affects his practice. For example, Teacher Yoshimoto was influenced from John Dewey and Kunio Yanagida. (3) Evaluated knowledge: This knowledge is used when teacher reflects his practice. In this study, Mr. Yoshimoto was evaluating his practice by his original words. What he evaluates is the point where his sense is found out. Real situation, these three knowledge appear randomly. However, this study founded possibility of transmission of teacher's knowledge to the novice teachers. For example, it can be assumed that the expert teacher explains the unit table while writing the point when teacher's works shop. As mentioned above, teacher's practical knowledge can not be separated from the teacher's inner side. This case study will trace the curriculum vitae of the teacher who created the curriculum. To improve this study, it is necessary to do a further examination of teacher's vitae.
