The purpose of this practice is to bring up children who can see social problems, make choices and judgments about how to relate to society, and participate in society as creators of a better society through a multifaceted and multidimensional view of social events by comparing and classifying them. The goal is to nurture children who can identify social problems, make choices and decisions about how to interact with society, and participate in society as creators of a better society.
From the students' reflections, we believe that they were able to actively take up social issues, divide their view of society into perspectives (social perspective, temporal perspective, etc.) and stance (self and others, consumers and producers, Japan and other countries, etc.), increase the number of perspectives from which they view society, think from different positions, and enhance the decision-making process by focusing on choices and judgments.
