The purpose of this course is to consider elements that shape modern school education through going back to their roots. In the first half of this series of lectures, we survey the historical development of modern school education in Europe. In the latter part, we survey Japanese education from the Edo to the early Showa eras. In particular, the acceptance and development of modern school education are introduced. At the end, we consider education in present-day from the view which we learned through this course.
This course is designated to achieve educational goals 1, 2, and 3 of General Basic Subjects.
