In particular, this is a subject for obtaining a junior high school social studies teaching license.
Therefore, the main target audience is those who have already completed the "Teacher Profession Course Registration" or those who are planning to "Teacher Profession Course Registration" from next year onwards. However, this does not apply if you are not particularly interested in the teaching profession at the moment, but would like to consider Japanese history from a pedagogical perspective.
Although the class name is "Overview of Japanese History," it does not provide an overview of all eras of Japanese history (from primitive to modern times), but mainly focuses on early modern and modern history.Especially ancient documents from the Edo period. We hope that reading the letters and autobiographies of Yukichi Fukuzawa and Yukichi Fukuzawa will give you an opportunity to think about historical research and history education.
The classes will mainly be lecture-style, but we will also include reading original historical materials as appropriate. The details will be explained during the first class.
