Technology Education
Course Description

It is widely acknowledged that Japan should aim to establish itself on the basis of advanced science and technology in the 21st century. Undoubtedly the task for us to accomplish is well-balanced development based on integration of science and technology, nature, and humankind, the counterparts of which in the field of technology education are "hand, mind, and heart." To seek the balance of these three is exactly what we hope to do in our Technology Education course. We aim chiefly to train teachers for junior high school technology education, offering classes in wood processing, mechanics, electricity, information, cultivation and teaching methods in such fields. The advantage of our course is that students are able to acquire knowledge and understanding in a broad range of science technology and in the basic field of technology education at the same time, thus producing individuals versed both in humanities and science. We particularly hope that each student obtains an insight into the concept that underlies the spirit of "mono-zukuri" or the art of manufacturing, which transcends the realm of practical goods-production. Though our students are predominantly male, the number of female students has been on the rise since the junior high school technology education was made coeducational. The female graduates are actively involved in the technology education field, capitalizing on their unique viewpoints.
