From February 6 (Fri.) to 14 (Sat.), 2026, a total of 10 students from Teikyo University Graduate School Graduate School of Teacher Education Division of Curriculum Studies and Teacher Education, 5 in-service teacher graduate students and 5 straight master graduate students, conducted an overseas school education field study in Cambridge, London (UK), led by their course instructors, Keiko Aramaki of the same department Professor and Daisuke Machishi of the same department Associate Professor.
The Graduate School promotes education that enhances both academic knowledge and practical expertise through exchanges with overseas universities and schools. As part of this effort, we have been conducting field research on overseas education since 2015, and it is a popular subject that is one of the unique curriculum of the Graduate School, and a total of 91 students have participated so far. This time, with the cooperation of Dr. William Fa University of Cambridge Faculty of Education, a collaborator of the international joint research of the Aramaki Professor, we visited University of Cambridge Elementary School and exchanged graduate students at University of Cambridge.
University of Cambridge held research presentations and exchanges with Graduate School students from both universities in the Okinaga room at St. Edmund's College. They also visited University of Cambridge Elementary School, Horsenden Primary School, which is an excellent school for Olasie Education (Dialogue Education), St. Bernard's Catholic Grammar School, a secondary school, and Mandeville Special Needs School, a special needs school for children with autism, to conduct field research.
At St. Bernard's Catholic Grammar School, incumbent teachers Ryuichi Ueno (Graduate School of Teacher Education 1st year) and Yoko Machida (Graduate School of Teacher Education 1st year) taught physical education and morality classes respectively for students. At the Teikyo School United Kingdom of the dormitory, we looked back through interactive reflection and held a field research report after returning to Japan.
This training provided a valuable opportunity for students to gain direct experience in an overseas educational setting and deepen their self-development as professionals based on dialogue. Our graduate school will continue to strive to improve teaching expertise through international educational exchange.
