Develop the ability to nurture the diverse personalities of children and contribute to a prosperous future.
This department provides education that makes use of the latest knowledge, such as "animal-assisted education" and "robot-assisted education".
Taking advantage of the unique environment of the Tokyo West Campus, students will learn the knowledge and skills to convey the fun and enjoyment of science to children, including the importance of life and nature.
By adopting a two-course system, we allow students to acquire the necessary skills for educators and childcare workers, professionally and comprehensively, according to the future students are aiming for.
Point 1
Become an educator and nursery teacher who conveys the joy of animals, nature, and science to children
We develop various activities inside and outside the university, such as practical exercises that make use of the natural environment, practice of animal-assisted education and robot-assisted education, and booths at science exhibitions.
Students will aim to be an educator / nursery teacher who can enhance children's understanding of nature, animals, plants, and the environment, as well as convey the joy of science to children and foster creativity in them.
Point 2
Detailed small-group education that allows students to experience a variety of environments
We provide small-group education in order to support students in various aspects of their university education, from their worries about their student life to their learning consultations.
In addition, from the first year, students can experience various environments by joining practical training at nearby elementary schools, kindergartens, nursery centers, and facilities for people with disabilities, etc.
By providing detailed guidance, we aim for a 100% employment rate.
Point 3
By acquiring two qualifications, students are able to have a wider range of career choices
We have prepared two courses according to students' future wishes; elementary school teachers, kindergarten teachers, and nursery teachers.
Students can aim to acquire double qualification in each course.
Furthermore, as a place to put the acquired skills into practice, students take the initiative in planning and implementing for chorus, ensemble, dance, performing arts presentations, and sports day, etc.
This course is one of the few courses in Japan that practices "animal-mediated education" and "robot-mediated education".
Utilizing the rich nature of Uenohara, practical training and extracurricular activities are actively carried out in collaboration with the local community.
While engaging in such learning and activities, students will learn the knowledge and techniques to convey to children, such as the importance of life, the ability to grasp things from the aspect of science, and the ability to think flexibly and curiosity.
In this course, students aim to learn about child education and childcare, and to obtain a license and qualification for kindergarten teachers and nursery teachers.
However, the content of the learning is not limited to that.
We are also focusing on teaching students how to acquire knowledge and skills to foster children's creativity by conveying "the importance of life" and "scientific perspective" to children, through educational methods that involve animals and robots.
In addition, students will acquire the "wide ranging education" necessary for working professionals.
