“I wonder if it would be interesting to work on my graduation thesis with an elementary school teacher.
I wondered if there was a teacher who would be willing to work with me.
Currently, I am researching games for lower grades (second graders) in collaboration with Mr. Y of Amagasaki Municipal Seiwa Elementary School.It is about children's helping behavior in games.
When I told my friend that I was doing research at an elementary school, he said, "Looks interesting. Can I go see it?"
When I consulted with the principal, he kindly agreed, saying, "Please, welcome."
We are taking pictures of the children at the request of Mr. Y, but there are things that the university doesn't teach us...
I've learned that the use of ICT equipment is important, but I can't imagine what grade I'm in and what I can do.
Eh, sophomores can use ipads and IC recorders.It can be used depending on the teacher.If you don't acquire this kind of leadership, you can't teach.I don't have much time left.I have to do my best.
Professor Y, thank you very much for today. Gradually, I was able to visualize the way Mr. Y interacted with the children, the preparations in advance, the confirmation of the purpose of the activity, and the way he talked to the children during the activity.It's funny because it changes.
