教職・資格（市ヶ谷）Teacher-Training Courses and Qualification Courses (Ichigaya)

【授業の概要（Course outline)】
To acquire basic knowledge of the objectives, content, significance and characteristics of social studies and civics education; to deepen understanding of the content and teaching methods, evaluation methods, and various issues in contemporary society; and to acquire the basis for creating classes that are in line with the essence of social studies at the secondary level. In social studies and civics education, there are many teacher-led, knowledge-intensive classes, such as "chalk and talk". However, future education will require students to be able to think, express, and present their own ideas in their own words in response to the "why" questions and issues they face in their own learning. We hope that students will acquire both theoretical and practical skills by learning the theory of objectives, academic skills, teaching materials, and teaching methodology from the perspective of the whole picture of social studies and civics.
