<p>  This research paper aims to elucidate the educational philosophy of Scouting posited by Goto Shinpei, the first Chief Scout of Japan. In particular, his understanding of the Scout Movement, his thinking about the difference between school and scout education, his self-government theory in scout education, and his idea of applying the theory to adult education are considered. </p><p>  Scout documents included in Goto Shinpei's documents are mainly used in this paper. These scout documents had been kept by a relative of Goto Shinpei before World War II, and were thought to be long missing until recently. Consequently, no prior research has referred to them. </p><p>  Goto Shinpei actively gained knowledge on the theory and practice of scouting, and he gave lectures on scouting across the whole country. He insisted on the need for scouting activities, distinct from school education; this was to be consistent with his cultivation of the autonomous spirit, a concept he had long advocated. Goto Shinpei's idea, "Ethics Movement of Politics" was the application of education on self-government in scouting to adults.</p>

This study aimed to clarify an aspect of the role of religion in prewar social education organizations by identifying the relationship between the Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan and Boy Scouts troops affiliated with religious groups. While focusing on the relationship between the Boy Scout troops in Konkokyo, Honganji-ha, and Ohtani-ha sects and the Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan, this study examined the consistency between religion and emperor ideology and found the following findings. First, the Boy Scouts in Europe and the United States of America were based on Christian ideology; however, during the process of organizing the Boy Scouts in Japan, sectarianism was eliminated. Second, religious organizations adopted the methods of the Boy Scouts to improve traditional religious education and sought to organize themselves in their own way such as altering Scout Promise and Law. Third, the Boy Scouts encouraged all participants to clarify their faith and belong to a religious order as part of their educational policy. However, the Boy Scout troops that systematically belonged to a religious sect depended on the existence of the Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan, a national organization, and threatened the absoluteness of the emperor’s ideology. Thus, the relationship between the emperor system ideology and religion created tension in the Federation of Boy Scouts in Japan.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the problem-solving process for disabled children who were unable to go to school. This study focuses on the parental movements of children with learning difficulties.  In Japan, children with learning difficulties had been excused from attending schools since 1900. After World War Ⅱ, this system has been continued by the School Education Act. In those days, there was a saying that nonattendance of disabled children was caused by parents’ negative attitudes toward special education. Therefore, it was argued that it was also necessary to change parents’ attitudes to promote special education for disabled children with learning difficulties.  In the 1950s, parents’ association for with learning difficulties published the parental notes and tried to show the significance of special education. After these activities, many parents became supporters and driving force of special education.  Based on an interview survey, it becomes clear that the participants of parents’ association had forced the nonattendance of disabled children by the local education authority. This involved sharing their problems with other parents after joining in it, and cooperating with teachers to reform educational systems for disabled children.  As a result of this study, it is found that parents’ activities (recognizing the matters of disabled children and problem-solving with teachers) played important roles in acquiring the rights of education for disabled children.

This paper aims to clarify the significances of women’s learning at kominkans (community learning centers) within the current context of women learners at Kunitachi City Kominkan (Tokyo, Japan). Among developments such as the United Nations’ International Women’s Year (1975), Decade for Women (1976-85), Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women ratified by the Japanese government (1985), the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing (1995), and the Basic Act for a Gender Equal Society enacted as the first comprehensive legislation for anti-sexism in Japan (1999), women’s learning at kominkans has been continuously deployed until the present. The stagnation of this learning indicates, however, it’s significance for women learners has still been unquestionably maintained even in different forms. Learners indicate that the kominkans are significant in the following three ways: (1)“making an inventory of life” according to their life stages; (2) creating connections among women within the local community over generations; and (3) questioning their working and family life by expanding kominkan’s topical seminar room into the whole of their everyday life.

In this thesis, I analyzed the museum theory of Toshiro Ito (1947–1991), who advocated the “Theory of the Community Museums”. He was at Hosei University from 1965 to 1969. He started the Hosei University Museum Studies Group in 1967 and then acquired the following two perspectives.   Firstly, he reconsidered museum functions such as collection, preservation, research, and communication as human activities in society in 1968. His theory aims to make the local museum a public space for learning where residents work on social community issues through museum activities.   Secondly, he established museum activities for modern society that supported citizens’ rights to learn. He described the evolution of the museum historically in 1969. In his theory, he foresees the museum not only as a place of preservation and utilization of the heritage but also a place where activities should be created by participation based on the learning of the residents.   While these perspectives define the range of his museum theory after 1970, because of he died early, it had been an unfinished concept in Japan until the 2010s. Public history would benefit from renewed and detailed study of his theory.
