Description

The purpose of this project was to compose an instructional program aimed at experiential learning of pro-social skills and attitudes, with the intent to contribute to the betterment of society. Our belief was that educating students on social psychological knowledge relevant to the following themes would enhance their acquisition of social competence (e. g., interpersonal competence, adaptability to group and society) and a pro-social attitude : dynamics of human behavior, interpersonal relationships, and importance of group and society. This article is a description of the curriculum planned for the purpose, and a report on some preliminary findings on the administration of the curriculum on this ongoing project. Participants were 80 seventh graders in two classes at a middle school in central Japan. A total of 30 sessions were planned for the school year, and a session was conducted approximately once every two weeks. This article shall deal with the first six sessions conducted before summer break.
