Course Description

Our aim is to train science teachers with a comprehensive perspective and a high level of specialized knowledge, both of which are vital for scientific understanding of natural phenomena, by providing students with knowledge of teaching methods of science education, as well as with that of physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and other scientific areas of studies. In order to achieve this objective, our curriculum is designed for students to study widely and deeply those fields, as it offers seminars, laboratory experiments, and various kinds of field research, conducted by the faculty across disciplines. As for graduation (thesis) research, students, according to their interest, belong with one of the laboratory/research groups, and greatly improve their practical research skills. The ideal student-to-teacher ratio of a few students per instructor creates a favorable research environment, enabling each student to be given plentiful individual attention. Our graduates are active in various fields, which not solely include elementary, junior high, and high school education, but the public and private sectors and further academic careers at higher institutions as well.
