Description

Saturday class was opened accompanied by organization of parent circles for children with learning disabilities throughout Japan in 1980s-1990s. Learning support for the children was executed by undergraduates and graduate students mainly. Learning is occurred in various aspects of daily life. Acquisition of knowledge and skills results imitation of adult’s behavior by children. In school education, although, dissociation between knowledge and skills has occurred because accuracy and efficiency was pursued by mass production system. As the result, alienation of children with developmental disabilities occurred in school education, and the Saturday class was begun. In the Saturday class, “joint front for learning” was organized by the children with developmental disabilities and university students based on mutual trust between them. The class has been felt as a place of their own by themselves. The children with developmental disabilities have high sensitivity for differences among events of daily life, as the result, they firstly catch stresses in the community. People in the community are not only expected to correspond the children but also expected to solve the problem of the mechanism for the stresses.
