Bachelor in Education

Since 2016, the Faculty of Education has provided a single program for teacher training, the School Teacher Training Program, which contains two subsidiary courses: Elementary School Education and Special Needs Education.

The aim of the School Teacher Training Program is focused to develop teachers who are highly qualified in the field of elementary school education and to play a central role in education in the Oita region, which should ultimately contribute to the development of education for the nation.

The curriculum for the School Teacher Training Program covers subjects necessary for obtaining a teacher’s license for elementary school education. The Program also offers many other subjects to enhance educational skills needed for elementary school teachers, some of which are compulsory: understanding and teaching of the contents of all the nine subjects in the curriculum of elementary school (compulsory), effective writing on the chalkboard, communication skills for teachers, and teaching English at elementary school. In addition to these subjects for teacher training at elementary school, the Program provides subjects required for teacher’s license for education at middle school, kindergarten, and special needs school, which makes it possible for students to obtain plural teaching licenses.
