| We were re-organised
in 2001 in response to changes in modern society, such as the clinical
attempt toward the various problems in schools, the development of
ideas for improvement of teachers' training methods and the quality
of teachers in service. The centre is expected to play the role of
a pipe connecting elementary and junior high schools etc. in Gunma
Prefecture and this Faculty & Graduate School of Education. For
this purpose the Centre has four departments. The 'Clinical Psychology of Education' department concentrates on contemporary problems such as bullying and truancy. The 'Cross-cultural Education' department analyses various school problems by enrolling students of different mother tongues. The 'Education Practice Development' department develops improvement lesson methods in school environments and also the practice of new contents in the curriculum, such as comprehensive study and environmental education. The 'Education Engineering' department handles the advanced level computer education, construction of network between schools and educational facilities and it's utilisation. Since the Center concentrates on clinical and practical research, it is also in charge of the courses for undergraduate and graduate students, pre-instruction and post-instruction of teaching internship etc. Moreover, it also organises friendship businesses, utilising audio-visual equipment, collecting education practice data, holding public symposiums and so on. |
