Description

The purpose of this study is to clarify the aims of the practice of life education as it was implemented in normal public elementary schools and how this approach to education developed during the early Showa Period, in the years from 1927 to 1929, which can be described as the period when the new education movement was declining and which was followed immediately by the period when the local education movement and the life composition movement flourished. In order to achieve this goal, this study focused on the practice of life education at the Furuichi Jinjo Higher Elementary School in Hyogo Prefecture. This study revealed the following two points by using documents concerning this school. First, in the early Showa Period, based on the Hyogo Prefecture educational policy called “Thorough life education”, the school conducted life education from its own unique perspective: linking children’s studies with their daily lives. From the point of view defined as “considering the lives of children”, it prioritized understanding children’s studies intuitively or concretely and linking them to actions, and was an effort to present concrete and practical contents for the general educational policies of the prefecture. This study also shows how life education in this school was developed based on practical experience obtained through the guidance of Heiji Oikawa in the Taisho Period (1912 to 1926), specifically prioritizing the practice of having children give presentations.
