Cross-curricular Class in the Teacher Training Course: Discussing the Diversity of Beauty and Its Relationship with Goodness

One of the special subjects dealt with in moral education is “impression and awe.” “Beauty and nobility,” the object of “impression and awe”, is often associated with the concept of "goodness" in moral education, but it is not generally dealt with in other subjects. Against this background, the authors of this study created and conducted a collaborative lesson between a moral education and a music class for students in the teacher training course in Hiroshima University. The content of the class discussed the relationship between “beauty” and “goodness,” starting with the diversity of “beauty” in the field of art. A survey was conducted before and after the class to examine changes in students' consciousness. The results revealed a change in trainees’ awareness of the diversity of “beauty” and a deepening of their interest in cross-curricular learning.本研究は，JSPS科研費17K048645助成を受けたものである

A Case Study of Cross-Curricular Cooperation in an Elementary School Teacher’s Training Course: Focusing on Moral Dimension in the Teaching of Physical Education and Music Education at Elementary Schools

Currently, the elementary school teacher training curriculum requires cross-curricular cooperation in a variety of subjects. Although there are many possibilities for such collaboration, the authors’ have chosen to focus on the moral perspective required of teachers in the teaching of their subjects. The moral dimension is not limited to ethics subjects called “Tokubetsu no kyouka doutoku”, but it is necessary in relation to the content of all subjects. Based on this, the authors conducted discussion-oriented classes for students of the elementary school teacher-training course in the A University, and examined the results and issues related to the moral dimension of the classes in physical education and music education. Consequently, we confirmed that this experience deepened the multifaceted understanding of the content of each subject, and that the students acquired a cross-curricular perspective and recognized the necessity of the moral dimension. On the other hand, we feel the content of inter-subject cooperation needs to be further improved based on the learners' experience of each subject and curriculum in order for all students to benefit from this experience.本研究は，JSPS科研費17K048645助成を受けたものである
