| Research theme | Social Participation Learning Theory |
| research summary | The research theme that I arrived at through my experience in the school (high school) is social participation learning, which allows students to understand the meaning of learning and explore their own way of life through direct interaction with society. This is the essence of social studies, and is also a modern development of experiential education as represented by Dewey and others. I have been interested in and have been researching service learning, which is one of these, for many years. Service learning is an educational method that originated in the United States, and theoretical research and practice are conducted based on the idea that acquiring what you have learned and being useful (contributing) are one and the same, and that what you have learned must be of actual use. |
