Course Summary
Is geography taught in senior high schools in your country? In Japan, geography has not been a compulsory subject in senior high schools for the past few decades. However, the Japanese Government decided to introduce a new compulsory subject, "Geography," in 2018. As of 2022, all Japanese senior high school students are required to study this subject.
In this course, we will first provide an overview of geography education in Japan from an international comparative perspective. Then, we will delve into the background of the compulsory subject "Geography" in senior high school. Additionally, two senior high school teachers among the lecturers will share insights into their lesson practices.
We invite attendees to discuss what senior high school students learn through geography, how they learn it, and how it may benefit them in the future.
