Restructuring Art Education in Japan : Constructing a Consistent Curriculum

我的学习动机是，我觉得日本的艺术教育问题仍然存在。此外，从2002年开始的新课程已经完全强制减少了为ZUGAKOUSAKU和BIJUTSU指定的房间。我认为艺术教育必须进行重组，我已经包括了必须计划的教育方法的重大改进。我想澄清艺术教育的意义和本质。我认为我们应该致力于在小学和中学教育中始终如一地调整这门学科的结构。传统上，教师对课堂内容保持个人控制；然而，形成性艺术教育应该在更大的课程中进行重组。本文将视觉教育(视觉识别能力教育)、想象力教育(观念能力教育)、创造能力教育(创造能力教育)、视觉交流能力教育(视觉沟通能力教育)四个要素构建成一个柱子，在此基础上构建新的课程导向，按学科组织。这门课程的科目应该以新的、一致的观点来指导。小学、义务教育和九年制中学的美术教育应该有一个始终如一的主心骨，一个始终如一的课程指南必须坚持对学科本质的把握，而不是年复一年的教案。艺术教育必须保持每个学校的特色。《基础课程指南》是一门能够向学生展示教师个性和特点的理想课程。

My motive of study is that I feel a problem of art education in Japan continues to exist. In addition, the new course of study from 2002 has completely enforced the reduction of rooms designated for "ZUGAKOUSAKU" and "BIJUTSU".I think art education must be restructured, and I have included drastic improvements of education methods which must be planned. I wish to clarify the significance and the essence of art education. I think we should aim to restructure this subject consistently in both elementary and secondary education. Conventionally, teachers maintain individual control over class content ; however, formative arts education should be restructured in a greater curriculum. I have structured four important elements into a pillar.These are (1) visual education (Sight Recognition Ability Education),(2) imagination education (Idea Ability Education),(3) creative education (Creation Ability Education),(4) visual communication education (Visual Communication Ability Education)On the basis of this structure, we should construct a new curriculum guide, organized by subject. The subjects of this curriculum should be guided by a new, consistent viewpoint. Art education, in elementary, compulsory, and nine years of secondary schooling, should have a consistent backbone through.A consistent curriculum guide must insist on the control of the subject's essence, instead of lesson plans between the years. Art education must keep the characteristics of each school alive. The basic curriculum guide is an ideal course of study that can display the personalities and characteristics of teachers to their students.
