  This project is intended to investigate and research what qualities and abilities should be fostered at school education sites in order to cultivate human resources able to take the lead in Japan and the world in the next generation. To realize that goal, we strive to develop educational models capable of responding to the next generation and suggest practices based on the models.

  For development, we set a goal of systematizing and modeling class practice and class study in Japan and of disseminating them internationally through the OECD. Particularly, the fostering of cross-subject skills and character will be systematized from a perspective of active learning. In addition, with an eye toward the new Course of Study that will be newly revised, we reconstruct and reorganize educational goals, contents, and methods transcending subjects from the perspective of qualities and abilities that should be fostered in the future and aim at constructing new class systems and educational and class models.

  Tokyo Gakugei University has set ‘Dissemination of Next-Generation Educational Models and Base Creation’ as the strategy for the third mid-term goal and plan. Promotion of the project is regarded as the very core of our university. Therefore, faculties, graduate schools, and affiliated schools must make an all-out effort to achieve the strategic goals. Achievements of the project will lead to powerful suggestions to teacher training education, particularly to the resolution of contemporary educational issues. Combined with the development of new teacher education curriculum, they are expected to improve educational, research, and social contribution activities of the university.

  We would like to ask you to continue to devote close attention to the achievements of the project and to lend your guidance and criticism.
