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

本研究的目的是对新的教师执照法规定的教师培训课程进行一般调查，持续两年（1990-1991年）。第一年，我们从日本的每一所大学收集了教师培训课程的资料并进行了分析，并发出了课程调查问卷。第二年，我们发放了通识教育在教师培训中的调查问卷，从理论、历史和比较的角度对相关问题进行研究。研究结果总结如下。通过全国范围内的调查，揭示了新教师许可法和新高校法律标准下教师培训课程意见和规定的总体趋势，研究了新制度下教师培训课程完善的多方面特点和方法。例如，许多大学以大学新标准为指导，以放松管制的形式支持教师培训课程的法律标准，拒绝强制性的国家规定。每所大学的教师培训课程各不相同，它们反映了每所大学的情况和自主性，每所大学的教育条件差异很大。许多高校十分重视通识教育在教师培养中的作用，将特殊教育与通识教育相结合是目前研究的主要课题。
