Mission Statement
人の可能性を広げる教育の探求
私たちは、比較教育学・国際教育開発を専門分野として、世界の教育事象や教育課題について学びます。特にアジアやアフリカなどの途上国地域を対象に、教育と貧困、格差、平和、持続可能な社会などのテーマを探究し、教育が人々や社会にもたらす可能性を考えます。
We specializes in comparative education and international educational development, focusing on global educational phenomena and challenges. With a particular focus on developing regions such as Asia and Africa, we explore themes including education and poverty, inequality, peace, and sustainable societies, while considering the potential that education holds for individuals and society.
将来の進路が定まっていなくても大丈夫です。世界に視野を広げる機会を自ら作って自分力の発見をして頂ければ幸いです。教員を目指す方、国際協力に興味ある人、大学院志望の方、海外好きな人お待ちしています。
We welcome applicants even if you haven’t decided on your future career path yet. We hope you’ll discover your own potential through this opportunity to broaden your horizons to the world. We look forward to hearing from those who aspire to become teachers, those interested in international cooperation, those planning to pursue graduate studies, and those who love traveling abroad.
「世界市民教育」に関するプログラムの高度化、持続可能な社会を構築に向けて、世界市民教育の拠点化形成を目指します。
Proactive Learning
皆さんが主体的に学ぶ力の習得を支援します。自分で計画を立て、やり方を工夫し、一つ一つの活動に意義を見出していくという過程は、これからの人生に大いに役立ちます。これまでの学んだことを活かし、研究活動を一つのプロジェクトとみなして挑戦してもらいます。
I support students in developing the ability to learn independently. By setting their own goals, exploring effective approaches, and finding meaning in each stage of the research process, students acquire skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Building on the knowledge and experiences they have gained, I encourage them to approach their research as a meaningful project—one that fosters intellectual growth, initiative, and creativity.
Learning through English
英語を使えると将来の選択肢が格段に増えます。受講生の状況を考慮しますが、英語での討議や英語の文献を使っての学びの機会を検討しています。グローバルな活躍を目指す人（国際公務員、民間企業、教員など）をお待ちしています。
English proficiency opens the door to a wide range of global opportunities. To prepare students for international engagement, I incorporate opportunities for English-language discussions and the use of academic literature, while taking individual backgrounds and language proficiency into account. I welcome students who are eager to contribute to society on a global scale—whether in international organizations, government, education, NGOs, or the private sector.
"Unlearning"
フィールドワークの機会を作り、国内外の教育機関や国際機関への訪問を通じて、学びを深めます。2024年度は韓国ユネスコ協会に訪問しました。今後も、皆さんの希望を確認しつつ、"unlearning"（学びほぐし）の機会を提供します。
I provide opportunities for students to engage in fieldwork and deepen their learning through visits to educational institutions and international organizations in Japan and abroad. In 2024, for example, our seminar visited the Korean National Commission for UNESCO. Looking ahead, I hope to continue offering opportunities for "unlearning"—encouraging students to question assumptions, broaden their perspectives, and develop new ways of thinking—while taking their interests and aspirations into account.
Learning to Live Together
共生のための教育を意識し、ゼミ生同士の学び合い、そして学内外の様々な人達との学び合いを大切にしていきます。他大学との合同ゼミへの参加を検討しています。
Inspired by the principles of education for inclusive and peaceful societies, I value mutual learning among seminar members as well as collaboration with diverse people both within and beyond the university. I also plan to provide opportunities for students to participate in joint seminars and collaborative activities with students from other universities.
