Please tell me some ideas for preparing for the teacher recruitment exam.

I heard from my seniors that it is difficult to maintain motivation. What I worked on was setting goals for taking internal and external mock exams. For example, let's finish this question set and take the mock exam! I stayed motivated by achieving my goals.

I think that having fun while studying with friends and teaching each other helped me pass the exam.

Please tell me why you chose Kansai International University.

I was feeling depressed after failing my first-choice university entrance exam, when I learned about Kansai International University through a high school teacher. I decided to enroll because I thought it would be close enough to my home to commute, and it would be an environment where I could devote myself to my studies for four years with peace of mind.

I took on the challenge, thinking that it was a basic job for me as a teacher. I think I have gained the ability to "communicate" and am now able to communicate without making people think it is difficult.

Please give a message to high school students who are aspiring to become teachers.

Being a teacher is considered to be a tough job. I have some concerns, but I also have high expectations. I enjoy helping children become able to do things they can't do. I'm excited to start as a teacher.

Kansai International University has an atmosphere of ``Let's all do it together'' and ``Let's all do it together.'' Instead of thinking negatively about something you can't do, there is a positive attitude of thinking, ``Let's try to do it.'' Please take on the challenge of becoming a teacher!

How do you feel now that you passed the recruitment exam?

I'm honestly happy that the time has finally come for me to become an elementary school teacher, which is something I've wanted to do since I was in the 6th grade. When I had an interview in Kochi Prefecture, I did better than I expected and was able to talk to the interviewer with a smile, so I thought, ``I can do it!'' But I was nervous until the results were announced.

alsocenter programI think that is the best. I participated in interview preparation and mock class preparation, and received advice from various teachers. I think it was important to understand the core aspects of self-analysis, such as ``What am I good at?'' and ``Why do I want to become a teacher?''

I have been an elementary school teacher since April. What kind of teacher will you be?

In any case, I am actively involved with children. I want to be a teacher who makes the children in front of me smile. I want to learn about my relationship with children and classes, and become a great teacher. I'm a little nervous because my living environment will change drastically, but I'm also excited about the prospect of finding my dream job.

Please tell me why you chose Kansai International University.

One of the reasons I chose this program was that in addition to an elementary school teacher's license, I could also obtain a special needs school teacher's license. I had no knowledge about "special needs education," but as I entered the school and started learning, I realized how interesting it was.

I learned about the overseas experience program on the university's website.global study” was a big deal.

I had experience as a teacher at an elementary school in Cambodia. It was an opportunity for me to reconsider my desire to become a teacher, even though I could not speak the language at all.
Also, last year in 3rd yearsports revolutionChairman, I participated as a general manager this year. While there are restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, we have decided what we do not want to compromise on and what we can compromise on.

How do you feel now that you passed the recruitment exam?

To be honest, I feel more relieved than happy. I wasn't able to show my best ability 100% in the interviews and mock classes, so I was skeptical whether I'd passed or not.

Please tell me some ideas for preparing for the teacher recruitment exam.

alsocenter programI took part in it. I had interviews with various teachers and received advice on mock classes. I arranged a mock class with a friend who was taking the same local government entrance exam, and we gave each other advice.At home, I practiced interviews with my mother, who acted as the interviewer. It's also a good idea to ask your teacher to record your interview and check it out. Thanks to this, I was able to improve my speaking style and speaking speed.

I have been a teacher at a special needs school since April. What kind of teacher will you be?

I aim to be a teacher who is trusted by everyone. To that end, I will take the initiative in taking on any task. And I want her to think, ``Hatsue-sensei can trust me.'' At special needs schools, children are often taught and supported by teams, so I want to gain experience by greeting and communicating with them myself, and by observing and listening to anything I don't understand.

Please tell me why you chose Kansai International University.

I was originally enrolled in a vocational school, and when I went on a 20-day kindergarten internship, I met a child who had been diagnosed with autism. At first, the girl wasn't interested in me at all, but towards the end of the training session, she suddenly hugged me from behind. I still don't know why she hugged me, but I was so happy. She started thinking about special needs education, wondering what kind of education the child would receive from now on and what kind of adult he would become, which led her to want to become a teacher at a special needs school. Considering my situation at that time, I thought that studying at Kansai International University would be the best path for my future, so I transferred.

When did you realize that you had grown or changed at Kansai International University?

I transferred to Kansai International University, studied special needs education, and realized that I had grown when I realized that my knowledge was steadily increasing. I also felt that I was learning new things from early childhood education while obtaining my elementary school teaching license. The elementary school training was also very fulfilling and fun, and I felt a sense of accomplishment.

Please give a message to high school students who are aspiring to become teachers.

When I see a child's smile, all my fatigue disappears. I experienced this during my elementary school training and special needs school training. When I see smiling children, I feel inspired to do my best.

Ask your teacher about the many things you don't understand. Kansai International University has many professors who provide detailed guidance. I also enjoy working with children while applying what I have learned. Let's work hard to make our dreams come true.

How do you feel now that you have passed the public childcare worker recruitment exam?

I'm honestly happy. I also feel a sense of accomplishment in being able to become a public childcare worker, which has been my goal since my second year at university.

Please tell me some tips for preparing for the recruitment exam.

I thought I would be weak in the written test, so I focused on preparing for it early on. After passing the first exam, I began practicing for interviews, taking time out of my studies to observe the changes in myself and my emotions, and take measures to convey this to others. thatCareer Support OfficeI had the staff listen to it and brush up on it. nursery teacher'scenter programI also participated in

The childcare worker recruitment exam required group work, and since I had frequently experienced it in classes at Kansai International University, I was able to take on the challenge of group work for the recruitment exam with a relaxed mindset. This is all thanks to the efforts I have made in class.

Being close to the teachers and being able to talk to them immediately when I had a problem helped me as I aimed to become a public childcare worker.

I have been a nursery school teacher since April. What kind of childcare worker will you be?

I think there are children with disabilities, children who have been abused, and children from all sorts of backgrounds. We aim to be childcare workers who can sympathize with the feelings and difficulties of such children. Also, if there are parents who are worried, I would like to become a childcare worker who can sympathize with the parents' feelings.

Please tell me why you chose Kansai International University.

Participating in the open campus, which was held mainly by students, was appealing, and I decided to enroll because I thought I would be able to grow greatly if I joined this university. It was also great that I was able to learn about both childcare and welfare.

When did you realize that you had grown or changed at Kansai International University?

I have always been afraid of speaking in front of people, and I was especially nervous when speaking to people I met for the first time. After entering the university, I gained confidence by taking on the challenge of working as an open campus staff member, which I had always admired, and I became able to communicate positively, so much so that when I told visitors, ``I've always been shy...'' they were surprised. I also learned problem-finding and problem-solving skills through discussions with my colleagues about ``what we can do to make the campus even better'' and thinking about what I can do to reduce the burden on my colleagues. I think so.

When I entered the school, I wanted to work with children with disabilities at a child development support center, but as I got more involved with children, I began to focus on the environment surrounding children, such as poverty and young carers, rather than just looking at childcare. I now want to learn from a different perspective, and I feel like my horizons have broadened.

Please give a message to high school students who are planning to become childcare workers.

In class, with local people"Let's create a shared library"We started this activity from scratch, raised funds through crowdfunding, and were able to successfully open the site. It was a great experience for me to be able to take on this challenge with my trusted colleagues, something I would not have been able to do alone.

Until I was in high school, I was not good at relying on others, but at Kansai International University there are many people I can rely on. When I asked for help from the teachers, they responded immediately, and I made many friends I could rely on. During your four years at Kansai International University, you can experience your personal growth every day!
