Teaching and Research Fields
グルンドヴィッヒの「能動的」「社会的」キリスト教を重視する哲学に影響を受け、学生の個性を引き出すことを重要視している。私の講義は、教育者としての私自身の姿勢を反映しており、生徒が自分自身の精神、理想、世界観を発見することで個性を伸ばすことを目指している。これはグルンドヴィッヒの教えの基礎であり、私の教育学的アプローチの基本的な側面でもある。私は、全ての人が学習意欲を持っており、その意欲を引き出すことが教師の責任であると確信している。ルソーが提唱したように、学習は本のページの中だけにとどまるものではなく、各人の自然な傾向に沿ったものであるべきだと、私は固く信じている。キリスト教についても同じことが言えると思う。現在まで, 日本と世界の両方の文脈の中キリスト教信仰に関わる問題を研究してきています。
