A General Investigation and Research on the Teacher Training Curriculum Regulated by the New Law on Teacher Licensing

本研究旨在历时两年(1990-1991年)，对新《教师许可法》所规定的教师培训课程进行全面调查。第一年，我们收集了日本各大学关于教师培训课程的资料并进行了分析，并发出了关于课程的问卷。第二年，我们发出了关于教师培训中通识教育的问卷，从理论、历史和比较的角度对相关问题进行了研究。研究结果总结如下：我们在全国范围内进行的普查，阐明了关于教师培训课程的意见和法规的总体趋势，在新的教师许可法和新的大学法律标准下，我们研究了新制度下改进教师培训课程的多方面的特点和方法。例如，许多大学以大学新标准指导下的放松管制的形式支持教师培训课程的法律标准，拒绝执行国家规定。各大学的教师培训课程各不相同，反映了各大学的情况和自主权，各大学的教育条件差异很大。许多高校都把通识教育放在师资培养的重要位置，特殊教育与通识教育的融合是研究的主要课题。
